Can anyone please help Coyote with getting this script to execute.
His posting, in German is here;

Morning,
according to the "Mach4 scripting manual" on page 16. When I establish code in the screen load script such as:
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
- Write register
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
function WriteRegister (regname, regvalue)
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance ()
local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle (inst, string.format ("iRegs0 /% s", regname))
mc.mcCntlSetLastError (inst, string.format ("iRegs0 /% s", regname)) - for test if i can reach this line
mc.mcRegSetValueString (hreg, tostring (regvalue))
end
then this function can be executed globally.
I would now like to use this also from the macro:
function m170_setSolderProg (number)
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance ()
if (mc.mcInEditor () == 0) then
number = tonumber (number)
WriteRegister ("SolCon / SolderProg", number)
else
local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle (inst, "iRegs0 / SolCon / SolderProg")
mc.mcRegSetValueString (hreg, tostring (number))
end
SetSolConSolProgOutput (number)
mc.mcCntlSetLastError (inst, string.format ("Solder Program% s updated", number))
end
but it is not executed / found. There is also no error message about it!
I have already entered this into the support of Newfangled, but only received irrelevant phrases as an answer. I have to hold back from writing an angry mail to Trevor W.
I suspect that the place for the function is the wrong one, as in the manual as an example it is only accessed by a screen button.
Does anyone have any advice for me to solve this problem?
Thank you
Coyote
