MPG Pendant Code question

Hello,

I'm in the process of converting my old Gorton MasterMill to CNC! I just started setting up the computer for EMC & have 2.4 installed on it. I got it to load until I modified the custom.hal file as stated in wiki.linuxcnc.org/emcinfo.pl?Hooking_Up_A_MPG_Pendant . Every time I try to load it after I put the code from that article in it I get the following error:

From what I see it doesn't understand the 'axis.N.jog-vel-mode' line. Can someone help me get this correct?

Thanks!

I'm sure I'll have more questions later on, so bear with me!

Mike

Sorry for taking so long to get back! BigJohnT, Thanks for the info! I see I definitely have a bunch of reading and learning to do!
