I cannot set up output 5 in the DEMO. BUT I did setup output3 and ran this code and it turned ON the output3.

 --Laser Zero
--Get the instance of the controller
local inst= mc.mcGetInstance();

mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst, "G1 X10 Y10 F50");--run some g-code

mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 0, 0.000);
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 1, 0.000);

--Get the out3 handle
local out3= mc.mcSignalGetHandle(inst, mc.OSIG_OUTPUT3);
--Output TOGGLE
 local outstate = mc.mcSignalGetState(out3);
 if (outstate == 1) then
   mc.mcSignalSetState(out3, false);
 else
   mc.mcSignalSetState(out3, true);

 end

It worked here zeroed out the XY after the Gcode move

mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 0, 0.000)
mc.mcAxisSetPos(inst, 1, 0.000)

Well I can move a control group AND it shows the new location in the TREE, BUT it will NOT display in the editor OR in Mach4. Restart Mach4 as well still no show.

VP  I cannot even get a screen button to work right 

Now for those Mcodes and param calls . THAT is the cats meow IT seems that there are 2 var sets associated withe G65#vars. Var_A and #1. The Var_A populates the #1 so  the macro Parm call  use it only querries the Var_A side and does NOT effect the #1.  At least it seems that way here. I can't test with G65 here so it is just a guess as it does not show up in the Var monitor.

Does anyone know how many ways you can blow up a ScreenXML (;-) and still counting. Interresting those XML thingys

IF you want a bird's eye view of all the associated Code in a screenset do as Craig suggested and goto the screen XML and view . It has ALL of the screen code layed out for you to see. AND it is in screen order.

Next will be to get brave and get you a pair of sissors and a bottle of glue and get to cutting and pasting. That IS next on the list as I cannot figure out a way in the screen editor to move MAJOR things around.
