fadal probing

[phil darcy]

Would anybody share a small amout of code that drives a touch probe in a fadal

I am trying to do this but can't get any 232 output.

In manual it seem simple.

Any help would be great,thanks

It's been 12 years+ since I've programmed a Fadal so I don't remember too much but this could be a start for you.

 

Edit: I didn't save results so I no nothing about the rs232.
