NC Gage Probe tab

You can use the Probe tab to configure sub-macros that NC Gage uses for monitor and automatic mode macros.

Required

Step

Instructions

1

Verify that the correct M-Codes are entered in the “Enable Probe Macro”

  • Include any codes required to turn the probe on

  • End the macro with M99

When macros are generated, the macro code here will appear in the macro O <Program Number> + 5 (ie. If the Program number on the Parameters tab is 7000, then the Enable Probe macro will be 7005)

2

Verify that the correct M-Codes are entered in the “Disable Probe Macro”

  • Include any codes required to turn the probe off

  • End the macro with M99

When macros are generated, the macro code here will appear in the macro O <Program Number> + 6 (ie. If the Program number on the Parameters tab is 7000, then the Enable Probe macro will be 7006)

3

Verify the macro to load the probe

  • End the macro with M99

When macros are generated, the macro code here will appear in the macro O <Program Number> + 7 (for example, if the Program number on the Parameters tab is 7000, then the Enable Probe macro is 7007)

4

The Move test macro is not normally required

  • Ensure that M99 is in this macro

When macros are generated, the macro code here will appear in the macro O <Program Number> + 8 (ie. If the Program number on the Parameters tab is 7000, then the Enable Probe macro will be 7008)

5

If any custom macro must be run whenever the NC Gage Macros start, add the macro code to “Start Program Macro”

  • This macro code will be inserted in the main macro, and the automatic mode macro

6

If any custom macro must be run whenever the NC Gage Macros end, add the macro code to “End Program Macro”

  • This macro code will be inserted in the main macro, and the automatic mode macro
