Posting M1's between paths

[BNFab]

My horizontal post I am working on seems to be posting an M1 between paths. For example, I am facing 4 sides, and this is what it posts:

 

 

...more code up here....

X9.7G0 Z2.G91 G28 Z0.M1(FINISH FACE)M11 (B-AXIS UNLOCK)G90 G56 X-9.7 Y-1.6571 B-90.M10 (B-AXIS LOCK)Z2.Z.2

I dont mind the safe retract, but I would like to get rid of the M1 in between paths. It doesnt have force tool change active or anything like that.. 

 

I have the debugger open, I tried getting rid of one of the associated lines I thought was calling the M1, but it also deleted the g91 g28 z0, which I prefer to have just for a safe index..

 

How can I get rid of this M1? I put a screen shot of my debugger at the M1 line.

 

Thanks

Do you have force tool change checked? If so uncheck it.

It's a m1, it doesn't do anything if you don't want it to. It's valuable in my opinion. Leave it, if you ever need it, it'll be there.

Look for the variable 'prog_stop' at the top of your post. This is used to set the "stop" options between operations. A setting of '1' is the default, and outputs 'M1'. A setting of '2' gives you full machine stop 'M00', and setting the variable to '0' disables the function (turns off the 'M1' output...).

 

Hope that helps,

No I dont.

I want M1's between tools for OP Stop. But not inbetween toolpaths within the same tool. Like every B rotation, it is posting an M1.

I am not seeing a prog_stop switch at the top of my post Colin... I will keep looking for something that makes sense though, and see if I can make it work

What post are you using?

[BNFab]

It is a post I had finally got from InHouse.. Not sure what post they build off of.  I literally am 2 months deep into this, and I would prefer to try and just make a small alteration if I can myself instead of trying to go back through the dealer/inhouse... 

 

I had received the inital post over a month ago which did not even close to match my sample code, sent it back and it took another month. I just cannot wait this long I really need to get it sorted out... Makes my life stressful

Does it have a .psb file with it?

[BNFab]

Does it have a .psb file with it?

Yes I have a .psb with it as well 

 

Does this mean I cannot edit the .pst? 

[Craig-B]

No, It will allow you to make some edits.   can you share more info on your ptlchg0$ #Call from NCI null tool change (tool number repeats) section of your post.

He sent me a copy of his post, and I got him straightened out...
