From OEM Button Codes in MachCustomizeWiki--- "Code for OEMTriggers runs the macro in SetTriggerMacro 301"

And from "Communications Routes" in MachCustomizeWiki

VB Script programs
A VB Script program can be used in three ways:

By being "attached" to a screen button and so be run when the button is clicked or its hotkey is pressed
By being put in a macro and called from within a part program, the MDI line of the G-code attached to a button. The last of these methods being suitable if the program is too big to attach directly to the button or is required to be used as a macro from a part program as well as a button.
By being a macro attached to an OEM input trigger by OEM code 301.

I've tried that but the code has to be an integer. I'm finding other refferances to "SetTriggerMacro". I'll keep looking. Thanks hood.

Thanks Bertt,
I’ve done exactly what you suggested but here is where I’m having the trouble. Your quote- “assign it the OEM code.” I’ve assigned OEM code 301 to trigger # 1. I’ve writhen a simple VB script for test. It moves the Z down .2 units and then back up .2 units. It is labeled M35.m1s. How do I link M35.m1s to OEM code 301?

I’d like to have a button (switch) attached to an I-PA C keyboard emulator initiate an OEM trigger to call a macro. How do I use the OEM code 301 to call the macro? Any help or an example would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tony

Thanks Hood,
Hitting the stop after the feed hold did let me jog off positions but when I hit Cycle Start the tool goes to the end of the line I was on. By hitting the Remember button in the tool information window and then moving away and then hitting the Return button in the same window it returned to where it stopped. By entering the coordinates in the pop up window from the line before it starts at the beginning of the line where the tool broke or lost plasma arc. This has been great help to me. Thank you. Tony

General Mach Discussion / Jog while in feed hold?
« on: January 24, 2009, 01:11:03 PM »
In the users guide for Mach3Mill (Mach3Mill_1.84.pdf) it states I should be able to, after a feed hold command in a running program, jog to a position to change a broken tool etc. and when Cycle Start is hit the machine should return to the stopped position and restart. My software will not allow these moves. I get a Message “Note: Cycle pause in effect. No Jogging or reverse!!” Do I have something set up wrong?

Thanks for any help.
Tony
