Ken,

 

Most likely way to do this is to modify the fs statements being used...

 

Your's could look a bit different depending on the post you're using

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Format statements - n=nonmodal, l=leading, t=trailing, i=inc, d=delta
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Default english/metric position format statements
fs2 1   0.7 0.6      #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize (
fs2 2   0.4 0.3      #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place
fs2 3   0.4 0.3d     #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place
#Common format statements
fs2 4   1 0 1 0      #Integer, not leading
fs2 5   2 0 2 0l     #Integer, force two leading
fs2 6   3 0 3 0l     #Integer, force three leading
fs2 7   4 0 4 0l     #Integer, force four leading
fs2 9   0.1 0.1      #Decimal, absolute, 1 place
fs2 10  0.2 0.2      #Decimal, absolute, 2 place
fs2 11  0.3 0.3      #Decimal, absolute, 3 place
fs2 12  0.4 0.4      #Decimal, absolute, 4 place
fs2 13  0.5 0.5      #Decimal, absolute, 5 place
fs2 14  0.3 0.3d     #Decimal, delta, 3 place
fs2 15  0.2 0.1      #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place (feedrate)
fs2 16  1 0 1 0n     #Integer, forced output
fs2 17  0.2 0.3      #Decimal, absolute, 2/3 place (tapping feedrate)

# These formats used for 'Date' & 'Time'
fs2 18  2.2 2.2lt    #Decimal, force two leading & two trailing (time2)
fs2 19  2 0 2 0t     #Integer, force trailing                   (hour)
fs2 20  0 2 0 2lt    #Integer, force leading & trailing         (min)

# This format statement is used for sequence number output
# Number of places output is determined by value for "Increment Sequence Number" in CD
# Max depth to the right of the decimal point is set in the fs statement below
fs2 21  0^7 0^7      #Decimal, 7 place, omit decimal if integer value
fs2 22  0^3 0^3      #Decimal, 3 place, omit decimal if integer value

The question will be whether who ever made the changes, what method did they use?

 

Change an FS statement

fs2 2   0.5 0.4      #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place

to

fs2 2   0.4 0.3      #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place

or

 

Did they change the variable declaration statements?

 

from

fmt  "X" 2  xabs        #X position output
fmt  "Y" 2  yabs        #Y position output
fmt  "Z" 2  zabs        #Z position output

to

fmt  "X" 13  xabs        #X position output
fmt  "Y" 13  yabs        #Y position output
fmt  "Z" 13  zabs        #Z position output

You'll have to figure out which and then reassign the appropriate variable and/or declarations
