Title: Can't Change a value on probe screen
Post by: Toecutter on February 26, 2023, 03:53:44 AM

Hello,
why can't I change a single value on the touch probe screen? To probe a bore, I can only use the values ​​that Mach 4 specifies.
I loaded the latest Mach4 version and I can't change a value there either on the machine or on another PC.

Thank you, greetings Rene

Hi,
do you mean type in a vale into a DRO and expect it to save?

There are certain DROS which are editable but there are many many more that are not. The DRO is supplied data from within Mach, even if you overtype
the DRO it does not change the data within Mach.

Post a screen shot of what DROs you are trying to overwrite.

The solution to my problem was that the CS Labs plug in does not work for Mach 4 versions over 5000, I installed version 4612 like CS Labs and can now make the settings.
Thank you, greetings Rene

I know this is an old thread but I had the same issue and resolved it as follows.

Modified the "On Modifiy Script" for each field. See below
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()

-- Commented out GetProperty
-- local val = scr.GetProperty("droCalZ", "Value")
-- add select to get the user supplied value.
local val = select(1,...) -- Get the user supplied value.
mc.mcProfileWriteString(inst, "PersistentDROs", "droCalZ", string.format (val)) --Create a register and write to it
-- added the return at end.
return val
