8.3 Using Your Outputs
There are a few ways to control an output inside Mach3. First, you can turn them on and off in a visual basic (VB) script
such as a macro. Use the following visual basic statements:
ActivateSignal(OutputX)
DeActivateSignal(OutputX)
Also, outputs 5-12 can be controlled with M-Codes. One M-Code turns an output on and the other M-Code turns the
output off. Use the table below for a reference.
