the problem seems to be, the variables are not loaded into the gcode
Hi mick - Let's check that out first.
I'm assuming you've run start/all programs/probe utilities/probectrl.
put Mach into single block mode and run the first line of probe25D.tap. Using the gcode var monitor in Mach, check the value of var 1001. Is it the feedrate you set in probectrl?
Cheers
Ian

Ian
    no the value in var 1001 is always 1 no matter what is set, the following are the var's with
    any value other than zero.

#1001=1
#1007=10
#1013=10
#1014=1

thanks mick

mick - do a search in the registry for PR25D and let me know what you find

not quite - hit f3 and you should get something like the attached under VB and VBA Program Settings (just down a bit on your left pane).

looks fine mick. So we know the config routine is posting the values to the registry ok but it looks like the probing routine is not pulling them out again.
Have you copied m90000.m1s to the correct folder?
Look bottom right of the main Mach screen and note the profile your using. Now check m90000.m1s is in folder C:\Mach3\macros\"your profile name" (assuming you installed mach in c:\mach3 that is).

yes Ian , m90000.m1s is in c:\mach3\macros\machmill

by the way should i be able to see the values set , in the gcode, because when i single step through the code
when i get to f#1001 the feed rate is loaded.but not visable in #1001=.
                                                         
                                                                                   mick.

Just double check that. By default your profile would be mach3mill - not - machmill. You may have changed it of course which is fine.

by the way should i be able to see the values set , in the gcode
No - not in the actual gcode - i.e. you'll not see F#1001 changed to F3000 or whatever. - you have to use the var monitor if you want to check the gcode vars are what they should be.

because when i single step through the code
when i get to f#1001 the feed rate is loaded.but not visable in #1001=.
Then it sounds like it IS loading the gcode vars - sorry you've lost me now - you originally said
the problem seems to be, the variables are not loaded into the gcode

Ian ,
      yes sorry it is the default mach3mill.

      this is what i'm doing,

      run probectrl  enter values, press config probeing routiine, comes back you can now load gcode.

      load probe25.tap

      single step to #1001=1, enter 1001 in var moniter and update, value returned 1

               step to #1002=0  enter 1002 in var moniter and update, value returned 0

              and so on to #1014=1 ,when i reach f#1001 the feed is entered into mach.
                                                                                                                 
                                                                                      thanks mick.
