Hi guys

New to Mach 3 and this forum . Project I'm starting is a 1994 vintage film scanner . Basically the electronics was incomplete when I purchased and the optics are very aged .

Plan is to replace existing electronics with a Mach 3 system , driving 3 vdc servos (two with encoders) and 3 valves (24vdc). Also replace the optics as well.

I also have managed to get updated software for a modern version of this scanner. Would like to use the the software and taking it apart it uses function calls (thru a .dll )  to control the hardware. An example of it is below . I would like to rewrite the dll to use these same function call names.

Is there a way with Mach 3 to send functions or control Mach 3 via command line or use vbscript as function ? I also see Mach 3 does plugins , is it possible to code this in a plugin ?

Hopefully this is clear
Paul
