Can EMC home on all three axis simultaneously

My Bridgeport Interact CNC mill with a dead controller, that I retrofitted to EMC, is finally working -- it homes itself, and generally follows G codes.

I do need to tune it however, but that is for another post.

Here's a question: it now uses three home switches, one on each axis.

Is there some way to home all three axes simultaneously?

thanks

Take a look at HOME_SEQUENCE in the Integrators Manual in the Config section.

BigJohnT, thanks. It would seem that "home all" is supposed to work with every axis sequentially. So, if I set

AXIS_0
HOME_SEQUENCE=1
AXIS_1
HOME_SEQUENCE=2
AXIS_0
HOME_SEQUENCE=0

then EMC would first home X, then X, then Y, right?

Or can I set two axis with the same HOME_SEQUENCE number?

Would EMC then home them in parallel?

Thanks

Oops, forget my question, I missed this sentence: ``If two axes have the same HOME_SEQUENCE, they can be homed at the same time''
