I also posted a vid of the dro and pid out while holding position.
The X axis seems a little bit dryer than y in regards to lube, but the Y axis is very wet. Z dripps from the spindle, but I will have to dig a little deeper to check that one. I know it doesn’t get warm after running for a while.

So I pulled up the vcp for the keyboard control And I use my keyboard to jog the axis and the pause/hesitation did not occur. So maybe it is just my monitor touch screen that is causing an issue.

That is very likely. If the pauses do not occur in CNC-programmed moves, and do not occur when jogging with the keyboard controls; but do occur when you are jogging with the VCP, then it would appear that the button-is-held-down status from the VCP application is not being maintained continuously.

You could further isolate the problem to touch screen vs. Windows processes by using the mouse to jog: instead of touching the touch screen, use the mouse to click and hold a VCP jog button.

For still more insight or information, you could use the PLC Detective Logic Analyzer to watch, for example, "DoAx1MinusJog", "SkinJogAx1Minus_M", "KbJogAx1Minus_M" etc. as you jog the axis (X- in those examples).

I tried jogging with the mouse and it did not pause. I also swapped monitors with the same model and it also paused with the different monitor. So it looks like a windows process issue. I dont see causing an issue for now, so we will see how it goess.
