I'm just working on a panel for my mill using a modbus device. Now how do I switch between .set and .sset screens?

Dave

Not really sure what you mean, can you clarify a bit? Are you wanting to have a button on screen to change instantly to a simplified screenset? Seem to remember that could be done in Mach2 days but not seen it for a long time.

Try OemButton(232)

(;-) TP

I use the sset format with my screens all the time with the following,

ToggleScreens()

There is some info here,

However I think I'll try the Button code number that TP pointed to.  Thanks TP.

I forgot all about togglescreens()

Has anyone put together a new manual on dros leds buttons commands yet ?? I know we have the XLS version on some of these.

Maybe combine the VB manual with the OEM stuff into one. ?

Any Manual writers out there needing something to do? (;-)

Thank you all

OEMcode 232 does the trick just fine!

Excellent suggestion Terry but it really needs someone with knowledge of VB etc. such as yourself. 

Tweakie.

Terry,
I added the OEM codes to the programmer's manual about the first of the year - see
http://machsupport.com/docs/Mach3_V3.x_Macro_Prog_Ref.pdf

See section titled "OEM Series Button, DRO and LED numbers" - its the last section of the manual.
It has all the things in the prior spread sheets (to the best of my knowledge).

FYI - it's really Mach's doc, but I have the source and add things when I find out about them, then I send an updated doc to Brian.

COOL DAVE I will check it out. I have a OEM BOOK that I made up for dros leds.etc I exported the sorted info out of the XLS 2 different ways.

1 way is sorted by TYPE then # (1-300)  and gives the descripttion.

2 way is by TYPE then Description (a-z)

THat way you can look for a function either way.  

The book is about 64 pages long doubles spaced so us old guys can read it. (;-)

If anyone wants a copy I can post it in the Mach ToolBox.

TWEAKIE If I wrote the manual you would be so confused you would migrate to EMC in self defense. DAVE is the VB master(;-)
