there are two ways to do this.

1st use macropump macro witch is running (if activated in Config -> General Config) where you can place your
code and it will be excecuted arround every 10ms

2nd you can make a brain (Operator -> Brain Editor, the use Operator -> Brain Control to activate)
witch will be excecuted faster.

from Mach3_V3.x_Macro_Prog_Ref.pdf:

Code: [Select]

'Example:
‘ This macro expects three arguments: P, Q, & R
‘ If put into an M-macro, and invoked via MDI, it will
‘ display the argument values on the status line
‘ For example, if using M1200:
‘ M1200 P1.234 Q2.345 R3.456
‘ Executing the above line to MDI will display:
‘ P=1.234 Q=2.345 R=3.456
Parg = Param1()
Qarg = Param2()
Rarg = Param3()
Message “P=” & Parg & “Q=” & Qarg & “R=” & Rarg

time depends on setting in:

Config -> General Config -> General Cinfiguration -> G04 dwell in ms

if this is enabed also "delay spin up" will be in ms
