Anybody out there own the Ditron D80? I have some questions about it, now that I have one. The manual is pretty bad. I rewrote the PLD section for my own benefit and would be happy to post my WORD file on that if it would help others. I may rewrite the other portions as I need them.

Here's the problem. I want to change the plane from the XY plane to a different one. There are supposed to be 3 options XY YZ and XZ but I can't get the DRO to cycle between the various planes as it did when first exploring the PLD function when inputting the numbers.

I would appreciate any advise or help.
 
I have one,will check. I have made a cheat sheet for the ones I have used so far.
 
Did You get as far as getting to the "plane" box on the imput screen?
UP button and DOWN button changes the plane.
 
Yes I did the first time through the procedure. I then set up to drill a single line of holes and that was successful also. I wenet back as I was writing the way to do the process as a cheat sheet and it would not cycle through the planes again. I tried also one of the other of the four NO1-NO4 places you can preprogram that I had not entered stuff and it would not cycle through the planes there either. Their manual is poor at best.
 
I have one, and like it, but it’s on my lathe.

Edit: Please rewrite the linear compensation section when you have time. :)
 
I have an email address for sales in China that I am writing to about the issue. I got it from their chat site Ali express. I took a video of the problem and had to learn how to send a big file over there. So far they have been nice about answering in Chinlesh. No wonder the manual is such an issue. I wonder what it looks like in Chinese.
