Mach4 General Discussion / Probing, mcCntlGet/SetPoundVar
« on: October 23, 2016, 05:38:31 AM »
Hallo everyone,
I try to get probing working in mach4.2.0.2914 (screen wx4.set) with basic success.
But after each "Probing->Single Surface->Measure X" for example the "Go To Work Zero" at "Program Run" does not work any more.
The reason for this is that the values of the registers #4001 and #4002 are divided by 10 witch each call to
CurAbsMode = mc.mcCntlGetPoundVar(inst, 4003) and mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, 4003, CurAbsMode).
Is this a bug or a feature ?
Build 3208 has the same behavior at this point.
Additionally in build 3208 the probing failed because the new calculated offsets are not correctly stored in the #vars.
Apparently the meaning of var #4014 has changed and function Probing.SetFixOffset in mcProbing.lua should be adapted.
Can somebody confirm this?
Thanks, Steve
