ok i have tested the following code here on my machine,
and it showed allway the correct diameter, did about 10 runs.

Code: [Select]

Rem VBScript To center probe outside diameter Metric Version
Speak (" psizionarsi CINQUE millimetri sopra il pezzo") 'Avviso Vocale
response = MsgBox ("   5 mm    SOPRA IL PEZZO")

Sleep (1000) ' pausa di 1 secondi
Speak (" CONFERMARE centro pezzo pieno") 'Avviso Vocale
Message "INIZIO CENTRO PEZZO PIENO"
Sleep (1000) ' pausa di 1 secondi
response = MsgBox ("CONFERMARE CENTRO PEZZO PIENO")
 
CurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current feedrate to return to later
CurrentAbsInc = GetOemLED(48) 'Get the current G90/G91 state
CurrentGmode = GetOemDRO(819) 'Get the current G0/G1 state
CurrentToolDiameter = GetOemDRO(43) 'gets the current tool diameter

If GetOemLed (825) <> 0 Then 'Check to see if the probe is already grounded or faulty

    Call ProbeGrounded()
    Exit Sub

Else

    XCurrent = GetDro(0)
    YCurrent = GetDro(1)

Rem Probe up

    YNew = YCurrent + 75
    Code "G31 Y" &YNew
    While IsMoving()
    Wend
    YPos1 = GetVar(2001)
    Code "G91 G0 Y-2"

so it Looks like you have no tool change selected in Config -> General Config,
or no code in M6Start macro.

for a Minimum you Need

 tool = GetSelectedTool()
 SetCurrentTool( tool )

in M6Start

courious, because the messagebox Shows only the coordinates where the probe was hit and the Diameter of the probe.


from the data it Looks like 70mm not 80mm  


when you watch axis dro's are they about +- 38mm when the probe is hit ?

can you mofify the code:

msgbox  "YPos2: " &YPos2 & " YPos1: " &YPos1 & "Tooldiamter: " &CurrentToolDiameter   


to:

msgbox  "XPos2: " &XPos2 & " XPos1: " &XPos1 & "Tooldiamter: " &CurrentToolDiameter

i have tested this code here:

Code: [Select]

tool = GetSelectedTool()
Dim UsersName As String
UsersName = AskTextQuestion("Please enter your name:")
Message "Please change tool now" & UsersName & "!"
MsgBox "Current tool at start of change is "    & GetSelectedTool()
SetCurrentTool( tool )

run fine.

post a copy of your M6Start as an attachment, probably there are characters you do not see
in a normal text Editor.

can you please change the following oices of code:

 Code "G90 G0 Y" &YCenter
    While IsMoving ()
    Wend
    Call SetDro (1,0.000)
    While IsMoving ()
    Wend
    Call SetUserDro (1152,YPos2 - YPos1 - CurrentToolDiameter)

    Code "G4 P0.25"

to

 Code "G90 G0 Y" &YCenter
    While IsMoving ()
    Wend
    Call SetDro (1,0.000)
    While IsMoving ()
    Wend
    Call SetUserDro (1152,YPos2 - YPos1 - CurrentToolDiameter)
msgbox  "YPos2: " &YPos2 & " YPos1: " &YPos1 & "Tooldiamter: " &CurrentToolDiameter  
    Code "G4 P0.25"

and Report the displayed values?
 

Where do you set the probe Diameter ? screenshot ?

try to Change this:

CurrentToolDiameter = GetOemDRO(43) 'gets the current tool Diameter

to:
CurrentToolDiameter = GetOemDRO(22) 'gets the current tool diameter
