Title: Setting of digital read out values using script Mach4
Post by: Kimcnc on April 12, 2022, 04:03:58 PM

Hello,

I am struggling to understand if it possible to set a digital read out value like the Gage Block dro in the offsets page for Mach4 mill, using a script.

My m6 macro is already successfully reading the Z-axis machine coordinate and it stores that value to the tool table for the selected tool number. Now I would just like to improve it and store this value also to the Gage Block dro. This will make easier for me to Set Z work offset for my parts.

Any advice?

Thanks!

It will take a little coding.
Here is a doc that might help.
