Just to make sure i understand.
You start M4 then go to View and Load Screen.
At that point it crashes?

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Yet Another Tool Change Script

« on: January 12, 2024, 08:30:36 AM »

Just my 2 cents

1.  I would put the G43 and the H (followed by the tool number) in the tool change script. Less likely it will get missed.
2.  I would leave it up. The first move after the tool change should be a rapid move to the starting position so no need for you to do it.
3.  If you can that would be great. Shorten the time for the probe move.

You said you configured the firewall.
Try turning them off.
Also, you must cycle the power on the ESS after a failed attempt at communication.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Convert millisecond to time

« on: December 21, 2023, 05:54:17 PM »

This might be what you want or at least get you started.

--Converts decimal seconds to an HH:MM:SS.xx format
function SecondsToTime(seconds)
   if seconds == 0 then
      return "00:00:00"
   else
      local hours = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(seconds/3600))
      local mins = string.format("%02.f", math.floor((seconds/60) - (hours*60)))
      --local secs = string.format("%04.2f",(seconds - (hours*3600) - (mins*60)))
      local secs = string.format("%02.0f",(seconds - (hours*3600) - (mins*60)))
      return hours .. ":" .. mins .. ":" .. secs
   end
end

You would be better off doing it yourself.
Then you can make changes or modify other things.
Before making any changes make a copy of your Profiles and Screens folders.
Then if you make a mistake you can always go back to the original.

Here is a link for a document I made that will help you start.
https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=45397.msg289143#msg289143

In Mach4 go to Operator then Edit Screen
On the left select the top thing under Screen Tree Manager
Below the Screen Tree Manager is the Properties section
Select the middle icon ( Events)
The top line is Screen Load Script
Click to the right of Screen Load Script and click the button with 3 dots.
On the right side scroll down to the function CycleStart()
This is where you will make your changes.
