When I go through the process of setting up my tool height setter, it asks if the spindle is over the plate. I type y, then press cycle start green bottom, and nothing happens.

Any Ideas?  
Thanks

Are you positive you had caps lock off? And if you did, try SHIFT+Y to see if that works…

That didn’t work, but I rebooted the computer, and it worked.  
Thanks for the help.
