That's a real bummer. They enabled the T options on mine without question. So you can't even try hsm? What does haas corporate say about this?
I still have some cutting smooth issues, I think it is a combination of a param somewhere wrong and learning to understand min segment size depends on ipm.
I tried ethernet, but was dissapointed. I could get the control to read a network drive, but could not get the machine to show up as a network drive for my win7 machine. It's not a config issue, but rather because of a dated network stack in my opinion.
Luckily this machine was originally ordered with HSM so we turned that on. The tech was able to generate a text file of the new parameter list after we got everything correctly configured. Make sure you ask for that in your quote if you order this upgrade. It will look like the same parameter list that originally came in the binder/manual. I believe the tech can generate this file with the program he uses to create the new parameter list. I did have a Selway Application Engineer call corporate and try to enable the trial. Mama must have been on the rag and said no. The apps Engineer seemed surprised about this since the trial options I wanted were not even included in the original 13.XXX software. Make sure that you specify that you want the trail in your original quote for the Maincon upgrade and you should be covered.
This is from page 1 of the new parameter list text file the tech created on his laptop at my shop.
