Hi Craig. Thanx for your reply.
As time has past and no one had a awnser I had to try myself. And I got it to work
Take a look at the LUA below. I only got the X,Y,Z axis active for now.
I allso added a line ( scr.SetProperty('mpgaxisdisplay', 'Label', 'X axis'); under each Axis selection to post on screen what axis are currently active.
To display the current Axis just make an Toggle button in screen edit, and name it "mpgaxisdisplay" This name can be what you desire, but MUST be the same as in the
( scr.SetProperty('mpgaxisdisplay', 'Label', 'X axis'); line. The name is allso Case Sensitive !!!. And ofcourse you will need to change the X letter with Y, Z,A.. and so on in this line to show correct axis.
Actually this line can be used to display anything you want at anny time
The momentary buttons on my Control Panel are connected to a POKEYS57U board, and can easly be mapped to your desired Signal Inputs in MACH Config.
In my case as you see in the script I use Input 50, 51 and 52 for my X Y and Z axis.
Thats it. Now Axis selection will work with momentary buttons, and the current axis will be displayed on screen.

mc.mcMpgSetInc(inst, 0, .100)
end
--if PenStop == 1 then mc.mcCntlEStop(inst) end
end
To make it work with momentary buttons I had to disable the:
--else mc.mcMpgSetAxis(inst, 0, -1) --No Axis
-- mc.mcCntlSetLastError(inst, "No Axis Selected")
-- mc.mcSignalSetState(PenJogOn, 0)
