General Mach Discussion / rapid jog

« on: January 03, 2012, 08:15:30 AM »

I have a custom screen set with the x, y and z jog buttons on it.
I have the buttons set up to use the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Using the arrow keys the axis' move at the slow jog speed.
If I then use the shift key and the arrow key I get no movement.
If I use the shift key and click on the screen with the mouse I get rapid movement.
What am I missing to make the rapid move work with the arrow key?

Thanks,
Bill

General Mach Discussion / button to jog x and y

« on: October 19, 2011, 09:38:15 AM »

I want to make a button on my pendant that jogs both the x and y simultaneously.
Can I do this in vb script?
Maybe something like;
DoOEMButton(307)
DoOEMButton(309)

   While IsMoving()

   SetUserLED(1010,0)
   Sleep(2000)
