Check.jpg NEW - Added Input Timer in PreEnable Processlist

Schneider Lexium drives require a pulse to switch from READY to RUN mode.

Input TIMERS are now allowed in the PreEnable processlist to pulse the Lexium drives with an output point for a specific amount of time before the axes were enabled.

Check.jpg CHANGED- KEYBOARD HANDLING

The keyboard features were completely locked out of previous main-window user interfaces to prevent a problem with accidental motion in the MANUAL page. This was too drastic and restrictive for operators that wanted to use the keyboard.

Now the keyboard works in every part of the user interface except with the manual buttons that can cause motion. Manual buttons will not receive any keyboard input.
