Title: Where can you set initialisation modals like G64 in MachPro
Post by: phil@highside.co.nz on October 20, 2026, 03:08:06 AM

Hi
In Mach4 you could add entries to the initialisation string under Config/Control/General but in MachPro the Initialisation Codes does not seem to be read and added to the "Active Modals"
Any ideas as to what the issue is?
I need to set G64.
I can do it in my Post but I feel it would be best to set it in the Initialisation settings
Cheers
Phil

Don't worry about replying I just realised that I should have set "Constant Velocity" and not muck around with what I was trying to do.

Hi,

As with Mach4, initialization codes establish the control’s initial operating modes on startup and after reset.

Good G-code practice is to also specify the required modal commands at the beginning of each program. These commands set operating modes such as units, absolute or incremental positioning, and feed mode.

This helps each program start with the intended settings and reduces reliance on the control’s defaults or previously active modes. It improves consistency between runs.
