z inhibit / max z depth

Is there a function in Mach4 that will limit how deep the z axis will move?
I think there was one in Mach3 but I never used it.

One way to do this is too set your soft limits for the Z-axis.

David,
I thought about that but it looked like that only worked for jogging or if in a program would stop if the file went outside the limits.
I will give it a try and see what happens.
Thank you.

Set parameter 1801 to the minimum Z depth. The default is NIL, or no minimum Z depth.
You can do this with G10 L50 or just modify the parmaeters.ini file when Mach is not running.
[1801]
Desc=Mnimum Z level
Type=2
Value=-2.00
