I did get this to work after some confusion. Seems the GV6 has a limited number of commands, compared to the larger units. I used i/o to thumbwheels, but discovered the VAR value I was using to control the velocity is a real number, this control only supports integer variables. After some...
Thanks, all. I think the pc would work, but this is a real nut and bolt operation, could be too confusing. The Parker does have BCD inputs, so if I looked a little further I would have answered my own question.
