Hello. Please help, how do I set up Mach Counter in Mach Screens?
My second request was wanted on the desktop waving to insert keys with g-cods because I still mill 5 same items.
Thank you

Create a button a Label and a DRO on the screen of your choice.

Set the DRO to a user variable e.g. 1200

Set label to "Part Counter" and position close to DRO

Label the button "Reset Counter" and set it to run vb script

Enter VB code :-

SetUserDRO(1200,0)

Save screen.

Then on the end of every g-code file just before the M30 enter

#1200 = [#1200 + 1]

Or you can set up a Macro to do it

M1025.m1s
count = GetUserDRO(1200)
count = count + 1
SetUserDRO(1200, count)

Hello.
thank you very much for your help, I can ask for a more detailed explanation because I know neither programming nor too much on Mach 3, so I would be very grateful for some file or video tutorial.

hello how to add an extra button in
Mach Screens which will open g-cod from file C:\Users\Sebastian\Desktop\PRACA\CNC\ciastk.tap

Create a button a Label and a DRO on the screen of your choice.

Set the DRO to a user variable e.g. 1200

Set label to "Part Counter" and position close to DRO

Label the button "Reset Counter" and set it to run vb script

Enter VB code :-

setuserdro(1200,0)

Save screen.

Then on the end of every g-code file just before the M30 enter

#1200 = #1200 +1

Wel, Graham
The incrementing of the #1200 works, incrementing is not shown in DRO

What is wrong?

Not incrementing DRO, user variable incrementing.

Try a different DRO, #1200 may be in use by another macro

You were right, I use 1200 for some other things, but...
even if I change the variable to, eg. 999 or 1000 (with corresponding changes in screenset), still no update of DRO.

It only works if I call a macro.

M1100.m1s:

counter = getuserdro(1100)
counter = counter + 1
setuserdro(1100, counter)
Anyway, I tried to help Sebastian since I do need counters

That should not be a problem, just add the M1100 to the end of your program and it will work.

How did you want it to work?
