General Mach Discussion / Re: G31 again: Logged data is ... wrong!

Mach3 using the LPT driver.
The G31 does NOT record in machine coords it uses the Current Work coord base to write values to the file. NOW if the works coords are the same as the machine coords you would see what appears to be machine coords.
NOW HOW the ESS does things is another matter but you would need to check with Greg about that part. But if it is NOT writing either the trip point value OR the endpoint value it is a problem with the ESS plugin or hardware firmware. Maybe you can talk Greg into NOT writing the ENDPOINT but an error code instead. At least then you can see and remove errors in the points file.
I personally have probed many many thousands of probe points writing them to file with the M40 and have not seen a problem OTHER than it writing the end point values to the file IF it does not trip. THAT totally corrupts the points file but only in the sense that SOME values are incorrect and there is NO way to detect that as it does NOT create an error code as it goes .
