Notes on Connection to MachXX

The Circuit is a NC (Normally Closed) Loop, So from Circuit board on probe

take one connection to a spare pin on parallel port, other connection to
common or Ground, (pin 18-25), Also better to connect one end of shield to
ground, in order to stop noise.

In Mach-2/3, Menu, Select Config, Ports & Pins, Inputs, Check probe, Port-#,
Pin-#, Check Active Low, Uncheck Emulate, Click Apply, Restart Mach, look on
Diags page to see if probe input LED works ok.

All should be OK.......

Hope this helps

Shaun....
