Re: [Emc-developers] Odd behavour in MDI mode

[dave <den...@ch...>]

Hi Paul, 

However, this only happens if the axes are in motion. If  one 
enters another line after motion has ceased then it executes 
correctly. So...queuing mdi commands should fix this and pulling 
them off the queue at the  completion of the current motion 
should fix this nasty little bugger.
