VB and the development of wizards / Running more than One Macro Pump

« on: July 16, 2012, 11:36:04 PM »

I need a little more clarification about macro Pumps? I have successfully created 1 named macropump.m1s how ever how does a person run more than one and name differently? tried naming servofault.m1s but just came up with nothing or error in message box      

If IsActive(INPUT1) Then
     Message "X servo motion fault"
    DoOEMButton (1003)
    End If    
        If IsActive(INPUT2) Then
         message "Y Servo Motion Fault"
         DoOEMButton (1003)
         End If
       
           

Thanks
