My first thought was jog-only, but then I realised you need to be able to touch-off. And possibly switch to a different tool (MDI) or run an automated measure and touch-off (subprogram) and then the size of the task of even speccing this becomes clearer. When I last considered this I thought that if EMC could store a list of all the points where the axes were stopped and run back through them in reverse order, but that was when I was keyboard-jogging and with the joystick-pendant I can see this is not likely to work. I suspect that the only practical solution is "Operator beware". Accept that the controlled point is going to move straight back to where it was before the pause. This is never going to be a problem with a tool-change anyway, especially with a predefined tool change position. The problem is manual pause to clear tangles etc. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
