I think it's OEM Code 818 for the feedrate DRO but it could be OEM Code 97 which is the CV feedrate DRO.

There are others like...
104 rapid feedrate.
122 feedrate ignoring F word.
etc.

Sort of, but you would display the result in a new DRO not on a button.

I have a friend that is a computer geek and he thinks that a business laptop with a docking station that has a docking station and has a parallel port will work.

Why not just try it and see ??

You can’t code the existing OEM DRO but you can code a User Button which will display it’s results in a new User DRO (which can track and take the place of the existing OEM DRO). The new User Button could also be triggered by an external source / function if required.
The button macro language is a subset of MS Visual Basic (cypress enable) and can perform the math calculations you require – details are here;

Without knowing the full details of your intended application it is difficult to suggest the best way forward but please take a look at Brains… http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,4430.0.html
They are relatively slow in execution but can perform the conditional operations of ‘if this then that’ etc. and may meet your requirements better than screen set buttons.

A little bit of reworking on the acrylic front panel, to allow clearance for the recessed hinges (taking care to avoid the clamps  ).

Some more progress on the cabinet which, although it is intended as a ‘wall hanger’, now has an optional table stand. Most of the internal baffles have now been fitted and the whole thing has been given a coat of wood sealer.
