SO, I downloaded the Cutter Test program from US Cutters..... 1http://iifuture.net/downloads/usc/CutterTest.zip Ran the "CutterTest" program. Selected "Direct USB Port" as the connection method Set the USB port. Clicked "Load PLT File" and select the ".plt" file. 6. Clicked "Send Now" to send the raw PLT file and here's what I got... Failed to send data (on bottom of screenshot) so next I am going to transfer "Cutter Test" program and exact same .plt file to a USB stick and try on my personal Laptop....

This USB cable is 36" long. Came with machine. I actually experienced the fuzzy problems when we first got the cutter. I didn't want to have to move everything in shop to make way for this HUGE cutter... ended up having to anyways cause the 10' cord caused issues.... Lesson learned early there..... Tried machine , again this morning on 2 projects that would stop prematurely yesterday.... they went through, without issue... I am dumbfounded........ Or Blessed when it does work... either way

Maybe True...although I've not seen an Update from Vinyl Master.... EVER. I've recently Doubled the RAM in the computer driving everything to the maximum allowed limits thinking there was a slow log jam of information and it may correct the problem. Alas... the same problem... I don't fully understand how sending them the .PLT version of my cut would show them my problems. I can sit back and watch the progress bar once a job begins and if it hangs up or starts and doesn't move within 30 seconds or the bar flashes up then off immediately, I can just about bet my whole retirement pension that it'll shut off midway through cutting.... the Vinyl IS very expensive and I thank the Lord above I've not been asked to demonstrate how we make signs to our Mayor or City Councilmembers.....or see me carrying out the trash.....HAHA. I'm going to, OUT OF MY POCKET, get the High Speed USB to Serial adapter in the next day or Two and switch to Direct COM Port..... MAYBE that will cure my woes.... ANYONE come up with a LOG/CACHE clearing process yet? I'm up to 1,874 "attempted" cuts so far.... although the numbers are actually 1/2 than that or less.... Deleted them from Vinyl Spooler every way I know how, even deleted the whole program and reinstalled and they are still there!

Reason for such a big machine is we have big signs that MUTCD specifies. I convinced the powers that be that DIE CUTTING machine and DIES were outdated and a much cleaner, professional looking sign could be made with plotter. You are correct about weeding, although when Titan3 actually works, it's a breeze even with Diamond grade vinyl. Right now the trend is the Advanced Engineer Grade material ( as pictured above in previous post) and it even easier than 631 or 651

Skeeter that is Only an Option IF I am using Direct COM connection method, I use the Direct USB Port.

I have been on phone/online with US Cutters, submitted files to Vinyl Master and options are slimming..... I've included all my info about machine, PC, and software previously here on this post. Windows 10, Titan3, VM PRO 4.0

Next step may be cable change to Serial..... with the Keyspan High-Speed USB to Serial Adapter. I am currently running USB on 3.0 side, tried the 2.0 side as well with no difference seen. As I work in Government it is usually difficult to Obtain things needed to work with. I have already gotten slack about the cutter and constant malfunctions, they stated I should have gotten a better brand.... Little do they know as they would have had a Stroke for a 8K to 10K request. HaHa

Yep, never messed with baud rate, think it comes set from factory like that....
