General Mach Discussion / run from here problem

« on: February 22, 2012, 09:12:29 AM »

I have a custom screen set that has a Run From Here button in it.
This is the code on the button;

DoOEMButton(1016)
SLEEP(10)

On one computer it works fine. On a different computer it does not work.
They both have the same .set and .xml file.

Any ideas?

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
