General Mach Discussion / Re: Auto zero script problem

When ever you update a DRO or in a while loop or send a message you need to have a short sleep() 50 to 150 is usually enough time for mach to update data in the background.

If you still have problems make sure you have a genuine licence file.

That is why its pausing, set it to CV on G64 or click the button on screen and remove any G61 from your code.

Why are you not using a G31, movement stops when it switches and you read #2002 which is the Z touch point.

The same reason why it says G73 retracts, the documentation is wrong.

Have you got an active tool offset?

Do you have a length offset active, if so that will be included in the #2002 value you could do a G49 before you do the G31 G91 Z-1. move

Some pictures of the machine would be a help

If all the axis are driven the same then all the values for steps/per should be the same only the acceleration and velocity could be different.

In Mach3 macros you need to give it time to update DRO's so when you set the SetCurrentTool() or any other DRO you need to do a short Sleep() of say 50 to 100 to allow Mach3 to update in the background.
