Hi Ron, I guess you could do it with a custom component in HAL. You can link a physical button to set the points and then compute the center point. You should need a reset button and some other functionalities too I guess, but I think it's perfectly doable. Also you could show the output with pyvcp so you can replicate what a DRO does. It's not that easy but neither that hard I guess.
