Thanks for that.

I had my machine probe as input #7, but it was mapped to the probe on the input pins & ports setup screen.

I have now wiring the probe to Input ZLATCH which in input #3 and mapped that input to the probe (Port#1 Pin#27).
I have since rerun the macro but the machine does the same, Z travel does not stop when the probe switch input is made.  I have tried the setup as Active Low and Active high but with the same result.  To test the macro, I and running it from within MDI, and typing the macro name, in this case M110 is what I have called it.

I do have another that may or may not be related I was going to ask you about it later but just in case the 2 are related, he we go:-

With Soft Limits switched off the on screen MPG will control the machine direction correctly, the same is true for the keyboard keys, but with soft limits switched On the Y+ on the MPG moves the machine in the Y- direction, light wise for X and Z add directions are inverted, it is also inverted for the Keyboard when moving the machine.  But the position count is correct to the direction it moves, and the softlimits are working.

Help required with using G31 probing and Galil DMC-2152 card.
We are trying to use a simple probing macro to find the height of a surface in the Z axis.
I was able to use the G code "G31" with Hotkeys and no machine driver connected, but once I install the Plugin for the Galil card and run the same macro with machine motion, the probe would not stop it's travel, it will run onto the requested Z position in that line of code.
I have been watching the Diagnostics screen and can see the input for Digitize coming on.

Sample of code:-
Toolup=-10
Code "G31 Z-150 F300"
While IsMoving ()
Wend
Code "G4 P5.0"
Code "G53 G0 Z" & ToolUp
