just read the manual,there inside very clear change tool and very clear measure tool length procedure
you can do as boton,as m function....
and of course need add yours specific requirement

why you use G53 on line 50--there no mining use G53 without moving G53
but you don't have origin reference like G54,G55...you also not use the G43 H...( high compensation)
so maybe you cant move in Z,
G4 in my its 1/1000 sec so write 0.001 its seems or nothing or error

i think its easier bulid some pp that will take the data from yours database ,pp will create nc file ,then can by api open the mach load the nc file and even run it (if you want without even need see mach interface)
mach have large api options to run from .net

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 real spindle encoder support - which board?

« on: August 11, 2020, 12:40:48 AM »

i forget add  about the npn disadvantage,we always use spindle with tool change and there 2 sensor inside ,and we cant replace them ,so we need add relay,and i always worried about the delay with this relay ,(we add some more releys because this"0" input,but this look more important not have deley)

pokeys can connect up to 10 output relay cards ,each 8 reley ,so total 80 output
input you have 24 on the main card ,but can add another  small card with more then 24 input
pokeys input is "0" its not easy because you always must look for npn sensors(not always on market) and if you not have filter on card you must add to avoid 24v will flow into the card
i had several issue with noise ,some they fix they said its bug and they fix it ,but in 1 or 2 machine we still have from time to time
when we have that "noise" its 2 thing can happened ,1- machine loose position for 1 or 2 second,second one of the output activate by itself
one very important point with pokeys ,that they can do custom cards ,like we order that include extra filter ,and bigger wire connector
about inside clock i didnt know there such big difference between pokeys and ess
thanks

Ess have limit of output?inputs?
the outputs are reley? or need add reley?
how about noise protect? is ESS is stayble ?(always supplier blame the "noise" ,but ....our machines are always very electric noise place)
how about the screw to connect wire ,are they very small(almost imposibole use normal wire) or can order bigger?
the input ,must be "0" or can be also "24v"?
all this i asked because i found this basic question never asked but for me its the basic and main root to decide which use
thks

mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "In M07")
but you not define the inst,only line after
i suggest you if you use machhoby ,not use inst use"0" it will solve many of yours problem
