Title: M40 and G31 does not save A axis values
Post by: mariusl on February 16, 2015, 03:39:54 PM

Hi
I am running the 4th Axis Probe Master wizard to probe an item on the fourth axis (A). The routine works well but the M40 macro calls the OpenDigFile() routine that is used to write away the coordinates results of a G31 (straight probe) and this seems to only store the X,Y and Z values. If you probe a 4th axis item, the Y axis will remain at 0.0 and the A axis will change. It is however not recorded.
How does one go about to get the A axis value recorded in the output file?

Go to Config --> Port&Pins -->Mill Options --> LH side "Digitize" select 4 axis point cloud
