Hi JT,

Unfortunately Im not a programmer so I cant help you there but don't you create the file last when you hit save? Aren't all the items you enter placeholders for options that have been selected which will be saved into the file.

Only other suggestion I have is reorder the contents of the tabs so the workflow order is from top to bottom of the tab. IE; picking the default units would be the first item in the Machine Tab, then select Mesa card, then test card,
 

The Quick Start groupbox the "Default Metric" I've changed the button text to "New Metric Config" etc. to better describe what it does.
Unfortunately the arrangement of groupboxes is dictated by their size in an effort maintain the smallest footprint so Mesa CT works on all monitors. Hmm, I'll add a warning about over writing any data when a new config is selected.

To diagnose why you get the wrong LinuxCNC version I need you to open a terminal and copy the output from apt-cache policy linuxcnc

Thanks for the explanation.

Result from apt-cache policy linuxcnc,

linuxcnc:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:

Which is strange as it is a fresh install of the current 2.9.3 iso.
 

Sorry my mistake it's apt-cache policy linuxcnc-uspace

Unfortunately Mesa CT does not know which daughter card you might want use for a spindle when using a card like the 7i92T. But that gives me something to work on in between working the Flex GUI.
