Mydata TP11-UFP won't initialize

That depends on what service screen you are using there are 2 of them.One is the exit to service under your exit prompt. The other is an extended version of the service program and you have to exit tpsys under the exit prompt and type in service -x when the unix prompt comes up. This is the one you want to use then you want to load all your boards under the boards prompt. Just verify that they are all loaded after they load. Then click on the board x which will give you another set of options. Go to the motor test option which will pull up a screen that lets you pulse both x motors and also you can see the values read by the x motor encoders. Depress both e stops on the front of the machine which will allow you to move the x wagon freely. Push it back and forth and watch and see if the transducer values change. If they do then your transducers are working. If not then check the couplings between the motors and transducer to make sure it isn't broken. If that's good then the 2 most likely suspects would be your blue x wagon cables and your mot mi board. You can also pulse both x motors to make sure they are both working properly while you are in that screen.
