You need to tell halcmd what to show
like:

halcmd show pin
halcmd show param hm2*
halcmd show all

man halcmd

Ok, thanks. The reference here must have been a typo then.

Did you manage to get any closer to smooth operation?

Unfortunately, no. It took lower priority to other things but I'd love an easy fix.

Well you don't say what the error is and the syntax is correct.

I have this pendant, but use only for jog x y z a, the modified standalone configuration with lowpass filtering. This configuration is only for Step, MPG mode, Jog wheel and axis selection button.I have found in this Forum. But can't find it again.
I am affraid of all the buttons on this pendant, starting unwanted Actions by accidentally pressing a button. So I only jog for Setup purpose and flip from Manual to MDI mode.
I have a frontpanel with 7i73, it is used for feed, override, and spindle Speed control. Also run step pause. A conflict with the same function on the pendant will happen.

It's easy to Setup. The 2 files, xhc-hb04.hal and xhc-hb04-layout2.cfg must be in your config Directory.

.ini file entry:

[HAL]
HALFILE = xhc-hb04.hal

[APPLICATIONS]
APP = monitor-xhc-hb04
