Zero Tool VB Script
« on: September 10, 2012, 07:57:51 PM »
I think one of the attached VB scripts I got it from this forum last year or so but I dont know which one is better to use now

Can someone pls let me know which one to use and also answer the 4 questions I have marked with REM so I can better understand how it works?

Thank you
Nicolas

Z-3 means probe down 3" (or 3mm)

2002 is the number of the variable that stores the Z axis position when the probe is triggered.

2 is the number of the Z axis DRO.

Z1 means move to Z= 1

Thanks Gerry

If I make this for example Z-6 and while the bit is going down touches the zero plate at Z-4, would it stop and go up 1" or it will keep going down to 6?

It will stop when the probe triggers, and then go up. It will only go to 6 if the probe doesn't trigger.
