Milltronics Centurian 7 control Work Offsets

[GibbsMachineCorp]

Hello all. Can someone tell me what the code should look like to get G54.1, G54.2, G54.3, etc to look like? Here is what my milltronics post created and it errored out, didn't like the ".".

I tried editing out the P1, P2 but it still errored out. I tried editing out the .1, .2 and all that did was spot all three holes @ G54. I know the P usually triggers the dwell. Thanks in advance.

Could it be the old system G112 and higher for the extended offsets? Been years since I programed machines that way.

Extended work offsets on a Centurian control G590 - G599 from what I can find.

From the centurian 7 manual;

Work coordinate system

G112 is for Haas IIRC

Allan was a shot in the dark thanks for pointing them in the right direction.
