QtPlasmac setup

I am setting up a new machine using 7i96s, and the problem i am having is the torch will not fire when running gcode. torch does fire with torch pules button. ant help would be appreciated

Thank you

Thanks for the quick reply
I'm new to this and  I don't know how to get the "config" under settings tab.
The gcode that I'm using is the Wench example that come with linuxcnc.

sorry cant find the config file

.

Do you have it activated in the control panel?

yes I have the torch on enabled, and when i select the torch pulse button it works.
The problem is when i run a cycle the torch wont come on, arc ok signal and thc signal not recognized.

Via the BACKUP CONFIG button:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/plasma/qtplas...#plasma:settings-tab
 

I am new to this, sorry to bother you with my questions.This is what I'm working on, Have since realized the issue and will resolve.

Thank You for your help
