Okay, I'm a newby and I'm creating my first screen.
I created a new screen for my Tool changer and I'm having an issue with a couple of DRO's.

When I add a DRO for Current Tool Number DRO - Code 24 it never actually displays the current tool, always Zero.
If I enter a number in there, it does update the Current Tool DRO on other pages, but mine still says Zero.

Also, I created another DRO and I'm trying display the value in the OEM DRO1200 but It always shows Zero as well.
I used the following:  OEM Code 12000

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Richard

Rather than using DRO 24, try using the System Function for Current Tool Number. Or. use OEM Code 824

Also, I created another DRO and I'm trying display the value in the OEM DRO1200 but It always shows Zero as well.
I used the following:  OEM Code 12000

1200, or 12000? Is 12000 a typo?

DRO1200 would be a user DRO, and you'd need to send data to it. What are you trying to do with it?

Thanks,  1200,  I'm just trying to display the value stored in DRO1200.

There is no value stored in DRO 1200 unless you put the value there. It's a User DRO, not a standard Mach3 DRO.

I use it to store a value in from my M6Start Macro.

SetUserDRO (1200, NewTool)

Mach always starts up with Current Tool as 0,  The DRO1200 Stores the LastTool#
I use it in an init macro to set CurrentTool on startup. 

Works very well however I want to be able to see it's value.

I'm still not having any luck displaying the Current Tool.
In Screen Designer, I Add a DRO, the properties for the DRO are:
Function: Tool Number DRO
Code: 824
Format: %2D
 
If I go the Screen 1 and enter a tool number it's displayed properly in the DRO on Screen1 but the DRO on my new screen page always remains at Zero.

And the two DRO's are the same?

Can you post the .set file?

It's screen 11.  Don't laugh, I'm just playing and trying to get the hang of screens.

The format is wrong. It should be %2.0f

Ah, Thanks.  Let me try again.
