I put this counter DRO and reset button on my TURN screen.
It increments UP 1 per Cycle Start button press. (Actually an external button to INPUT 1).
Can the DRO be made so that it cannot be selected and a have a value entered by an operator ?
Thanks,
RC

This came up a few weeks ago and there were a few workarounds posted. Can't find it though. Sad

I seem to recall something about placing a transparent button on top of it so it can't be accessed? And a way to use a label to display the DRO contents without actually using the DRO.

I'll dig around a bit more with the search utility.
Thanks Ger.
Another question.
       What can I do to make the counter see the on screen RUN button press as well as seeing the INPUT 1 from the external button ?
Thanks,
RC

Change the run button to some VB script and use an OEM trigger for the external button? Then either one should do the same thing?

Changed the Brain input to OEM TRIGGER#1. Works well with the external button.
Cant get the proper script in the VB'd RUN button to cycle the counter DRO.
Can you give me an example of the script/syntax ?
Thanks,
RC
