I could be wrong but if you are asking for a pound variable i think you need the number not the words.
I made a short document at the link below that might help.
It has a signal as one of the examples.

Do you have tool height information in your gcode file?
In other words is there a line that has H plus a tool number?
h6

Josh,

The error could be mechanical in how you are moving the tube.
If you are using a roller to push it the roller could be slipping some.
If you are grabbing it that could also be slipping.
Like Thosj posted earlier you might need to slow down your acceleration.

This will not get you close to what you want but it might help you start to understand Mach4 Lua

Ventuseu,

Which profile are you selecting when you start the loader?

I do not see a While loop to wait for the register to change in your m6

I will let someone who is good at the code look that over.
I am almost positive I would miss something.

Steve,

It is done in the screen editor.
Go to Operator then Edit Screen
Be very careful. Anything you move, change or add can be in your screen.

Click on a button you want to see the code for.
Under the Properties Section on the left bottom side of the screen click the second icon. (has a lightning bolt on it)
There are several different places that script could be. Click on the script and it will pull up another window.

If you are using the Mill click on the Probing tab then the Measure X button.
There is script under Clicked Script.

I probably did not explain this well but I hope you understand.

Steve,

You can access the scripts in the buttons.
Just be very careful what you change.
I usually make a new button and copy the script from the standard button.
Then if I mess something up I still have the original to start with again.
