Tool Inspection point and mi8

[alexlikesyou]

So I've been trying to get tool inspection point working.  It seems regardless of what post I start out with (MPMASTER, MPFAN, or the new IKE) if put any value besides 0 in mi8 it will give some form of this error (this one is specifically from the IKE) depending on which post:

21 Aug 2023 08:25:51 AM - RUN TIME -PST(4067,4067)- The value of the string select selection variable is out of range:1011

This seems to point to the "sgcode" string every time regardless of what post is used.  I just can't seem to track down where this could be happening to try to resolve it.

edit:  accidentally posted this in the wrong area.

Have you predefined the variable with a value in the post?

variable      : 0 #Defining the variable with an initial value so the MP language knows it should be used for a math function and not something else.

Example out of MPMASTER.

the "sgcode" string variable is defined by default in a table. 

Example from the IKE post

# Motion G-code selection
sgrap                    : "G00"       #Rapid
sglin                    : "G01"       #Linear feed
sgcw                     : "G02"       #Circular interpolation CW
sgccw                    : "G03"       #Circular interpolation CCW
sgdwell                  : "G04"       #Dwell

sgcode                   : ""

fstrsel sgrap gcode$ sgcode 5 -1

example from MPMASTER

# Motion G code selection
sg00    : "G00"      #Rapid
sg01    : "G01"      #Linear feed
sg02    : "G02"      #Circular interpolation CW
sg03    : "G03"      #Circular interpolation CCW
sg04    : "G04"      #Dwell
sgcode : ""          #Target for string

I think the issue really just stems from somehow it's looking at the NCI 1011 field number which is for misc reals and loading that into the string instead of a gcode value it would understand (0-4 for G00-G04).
