General Mach Discussion / Re: Gage Block height problem

« on: April 29, 2020, 10:25:09 AM »

i never thought that there is something wrong with the script, i only wanted to see witch OEMDro is used.

there is a lot Information here on the Forum about Win7 updates.

you should see in System tray witch was the last installed update.

btw. you did not add any other device like handwheel or something like this witch may use OEMDro(1001)

for a quick fix, you can edit your script and enter a fixed plate thickness for test:

Code: [Select]

GageH = 15.0   'OEMDRO(1001)=Gage Block Height

General Mach Discussion / Re: Gage Block height problem

« on: April 29, 2020, 06:05:27 AM »

OK your script uses OEMDRO(1001) for the Gage Block height.

OEMDRO(1001) is on Offset page left upper Corner.

what is going on if you enter there the 15mm?

None of them is Setting a Special Offset.

the one in the left upper Corner is OEMDro(1001) and the set Z button uses this DRO

code of Set Z button

Code: [Select]

Code "G92.2"

'Call SetDRO(24,0)
Call SetDRO(2, ABS(GetOEMDRO(1001)))



the one in the right  bottom Corner is OEMDro(1002) and the set tool Offset button uses this DRO

code of Set tool offset button

Code: [Select]

Tool_Num = GetDRO (24)


If Tool_Num <>0 then
  Z_Shift = GetOEMDRO (1002)
  Z_Offset = GetOEMDRO ( 49 )
  Axis_Pos = GetOEMDRO(85)
  Tool_Offset = Axis_Pos - Z_Offset  -Z_Shift
  Call setOEMDRO(42, Tool_Offset)
End if
