I confused.  it happens often
when I look at the statement syntax in the api section in documents they use label the parameters as "section" and "Key". Is that same as "name" and "initial value" under the configure/plugins/RegFile?  I am trying to create a new instance of "remember position" and "return position".

Mach4 General Discussion / problem with Probe calabration

« on: July 19, 2019, 06:17:23 PM »

I am useing certified ring guage for calibration of my probe.  I center the probe in the guage with Haimer being careful find the center of the X and Y.  The program runs and I repeat for the radius.   I think to myself that I am all set... wrong.  I use the newly calibrated probe to find the center and width of  a 1" guage block and the probing routine finds .007 error.  I double check by cutting a square piece to a width approximately the same as the ring guage diameter and measure by a caliber.   It is spot on at less than a thou. The machine can cut accurately but the probe can not measure it accurately. I see no way to compensate the probe calibration.  Need help
