The disable signal in opto-in 4 should work. Please check:
1. Drive doesn't go into SPI mode: make sure input mode is not set to "Force SPI" (GDtool->General settings).
2. USB cable is not plugged when powering up
3. There is 3-5V applied between IO_COM and IN4. Connecting one jumper from 5V alone won't work, IO_COM would need to be connected to GND.

There is an alternative firmware for VSD-E/XE-160 that disables error recovery move. Please find attached firmware file.

Ok, I had the cable plugged in when trying the disable function, without it, disable works just fine.

I have one more question. When trying to tune the axis, with the following error limit set very high to avoid following error limits, and the gains set low to avoid overcurrent errors, the output just drops off, following error increases, however, no corrective action is taken.

Attached is a plot of this. There is no error or fault from the drive.

Is this still the best firmware for disabling error recovery mode?
Can someone please link me to/tell me how to upgrade the firmware?
