if you have any way to add that option that when file will compleate load or generate ,to write some thing into file ,that can be good solution
by the way i use something simmiliar not to load file but to send to c# machine status ,like change tool or finish run the gcodde ,but all this are simple M function that write value to file

i think 1991 was only analog control ,there several hardware producer for Mach with for analog (sure when its analog it must be close loop because also PID need make on the controller) but as my little experience its much batter replace the servo to newer
its not big money and save you alot alot hed ace
