here your modified code, pls test carefully because i have not tested it.
it is just minimal code without any checks like , probe allready grounded when start, or no probe was hit.

Code:
'probe z surface macro
Sub Main()
   FeedCurrent = GetOemDRO(818)   'Get the current settings, OEM DROs (818)=Feedrate DRO
   ZCurrent = GetOemDro(802)      'OEM DROs (802)=Z DRO
   GageH = GetOEMDRO(1001)         'OEMDRO(1001)=Gage Block Height
   ZNew = -300                  'probe down 300 mm

   Code "G90F200"      'slow feed rate to 200 MM/MIN
   Sleep(200)         
   Code "G31 Z" &ZNew      'probe Z- 300 mm
   While IsMoving()
      Sleep(10)
   Wend
   ZTouch = GetVar(2002)
   'Go back to point where probe was hit
   code "G0 Z" &ZTouch
   While IsMoving()
      Sleep(10)
   Wend
   
   'set new z height
   Call SetDro (2,GageH)   'DRO(2)=Z DRO

   FinalMove = GageH + 10
   Code  "G0 Z" &FinalMove
   'return old feedrate
   Code "F" &FeedCurrent   'restore starting feed rate   

End Sub

this 3 works fine...

8.-  But..  if i mix the 3 into one large script.....
the machine works erratic..

IMHO your script's have some  minor "leaks".

first read about GetVar(2000) to GetVar(2002), here are the values stored, where the the probe was hit,
because you will allways get an overrun of the axis caused by the decceleration during stop. so the usage
of  this values is elementary (for me) for precise probing.

i personaly put allways after a movement instruction caused by script (G0 / G1) a

While IsMoving()
 Sleep(10)
Wend

if you add this While IsMoving() to your code, you will see that the code will be a lot more
than you exepect.

« on: April 20, 2018, 03:50:59 AM »

if you mean the Optional Stop witch is enabled/disabled by button, you can
add some code to macropump


If Not GetOEMLed(65) Then
  DoOemButton(177)
End If

the message box has real low priority. so for example

this macro code:

message "message 1"
message "message 2"
message "message 3"
message "message 4"
message "message 5"
message "message 6"
message "message 7"

will maybe Show two or three of the Messages


this macro code:

message "message 1"
Sleep(200)
message "message 2"
Sleep(200)
message "message 3"
Sleep(200)
message "message 4"
Sleep(200)
message "message 5"
Sleep(200)
message "message 6"
Sleep(200)
message "message 7"

will Show all of them and all will be reported in the history file.
even if there are other codelines between (if they have low excecution time)

if you want to toogle an Output by button, vbscript would be the choice.
for example

Code: [Select]

If IsActive(OUTPUT1) Then
  DeactivateSignal(OUTPUT1)
Else
  ActivateSignal(OUTPUT1)
End If

made a compare of your profiles.

i can see three things witch may influence the probing, but i am not sure, but you can test.

here the three setting's i noticed:
- distance mode
- IJ mode
- soflimit's

Thomas

btw. here is a good mach3 Profile Viewer where you can also compare two profile's.
