Greetings all; I had asked for an explanation of why the run trace, and the initial trace, do not align in the backplot, and it was suggested that I was using something in the G90 to G92 in my code. So It removed any of that from my code, with no effect detectable in removing them.
The first thing my code does is take the machine back to its G53 home position, and when that is reached, the g10 command to zero the global co-ordinates to that position, this to keep my g55 mods from accumulating run to run. So enclosed is a screen snapshot taken from the simulator, backplot in overhead view mode, trimmed down to just the backplot window. It exactly matches what I see on the real machines monitor so its at least consistent. According to the MDI window, there is a G91.1 in effect, but it is not in my code. And its not present in any file in the sim-axis directory. So I assume its an internal default. Note from the snapshot that the offset in the Y direction is nominally 2x that shown in the x direction. The white line segments can be clicked on if one is patient enough with his clicking, so that the line of code in the code window is highlighted. If one could call it high lighted, the colors chosen renders it very close to invisible. Extremely low contrast result. This needs to be fixed, but I've no clue how. None of the traced, red lines are clickable. The default co-ordinate map used for reference is G54, the actual movements are, with the exception of the G38.2 stuff to find and calibrate it to the contacts on the jig, done in the G55 co-ordinate map. Are/can these offsets be responsible for the apparent miss-match? Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
