DRO 233 reports the total lines in a file.
DRO 240 reports the line number that I are currently running.
DRO 816 reports the line number your scrolling thru in the file if I am looking for something.

I have the DRO's on my main page I added them with machscreen but you can use screen4 I am sure.

Thanks Scott  for fixing my screw up


Used to hold an Allen Bradley SLC 503 PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
with 4 thermocouple module and  a 6 input/6 output Relay I/O module
Controls my Fireplace blower (when to come on and off based on temps in Plentem and the room)
Also Gives me the temps of four zones (Room, Basement, Outside, and the Plentem in the fireplace)
and controls one electrical outlet that I use to turn on and off a light I plug into it.

Programed it to come on in the early morning and again in the evening for a few hours.
Everything is programed and monitor from the Panelview 600 HMI (Human Machine Interface)
Even created some ladder logic to compute the day of the week. Fun little bit of programming!

Used Boiled Linseed Oil to finish the bamboo (called Plyboo) box, a very hard wood.
Added a little engraving.

Hidden cabinet door hinges at the bottom to get access to the PLC and wiring.
Beautiful wood to work with, finishes well on the face, sides and ends.
Project I been wanting to do for years.
Just got it hung up so have not finished installing the temp probes as of yet.

Tweak: I don't see any G2 or G3 in your tap file. So I have to think that is your first attempt at your bike cutout. I was kind of looking forward to trying out my laser on your fine example of how a cut should look. Thanks for sharing, your a inspiration to all.

YNN,
  I think maybe you misunderstood.
"""I am building a cnc router with plasma ,on one Z axis  will be plasma on the second Z axis spindle."""

 "I Bad" for not understanding

which is not to understand  ,  I know the plasma gives the dirt because i  will bulid 2 Z axis

Guess I should have said: "I never seen that statement", sorry for missing that detail.

Then your not using a ROUTER your building a dual headed plasma cutting machine. That I would think you could do with one Z axis head and two digital height controllers. But your on your own with that.
