General Mach Discussion / Re: Screw mapping curve0.dat file format

Thank you John, I will investigate this tonight, I just started to learn about macro's for spreadsheets and mach3
a couple of weeks ago so I know just enough to be dangerous.

I have seen everything on this site and spent hours looking on the web, not much info on the subject.
it's a shame that there isn't a oembutton for adding a data point to the file with a macro. There is for
bring up the window but that's it.

Here is a picture of the chart I made from the CSV file and the Curve0.dat with first 68 points entered manually.
It will not let me post a .dat file so here is a screen capture.

Hi John, thanks for the reply, that is what I did but I am not a programmer so what I saw made no sense to me.
I did not recognize any of the characters and there were no numbers but I was using notepad to view it. It is nice to
have the ability to feed the values from the scales back into mach3, I made multiple runs of 686 points and they
show amazing repeatable detail.

I may have not used the best wording to describe what I am trying to do, I have looked at all the posts on this subject so
I know the basic layout of the data but I don't know how to turn a CSV into the garbledegoop I see when I look at the curve.dat
with notepad

General Mach Discussion / Screw mapping curve0.dat file format

I have made a circuit to opto isolate my DRO output so I can feed them into the DRO/MPG inputs, I have made a script to move the axis a curtain amount pause then write the real position from the 1 micron scales to a file and chart the accuracy of my system.
 What would really be the icing on the cake, would be to be able to use this data as input to the screw mapping feature but I don't
understand the file format that mach3 uses. Any help in this department would be greatly appreciated.
