Question

Can I use the DV-1000 keypad to control machine functions, like Start, Stop, Step Jog, Run, etc.?

Answer

While technically possible, we strongly recommend against this type of application. Major machine control functions are best implemented with larger, dedicated switches, knobs, etc. The keys on the DV-1000 are intended primarily for various monitoring functions, or for occasionally changing V#memory Preset Values.
