X Style Coolant

[dmaier]

Editing MPMASTER post. I would like to use the X style coolant to allow all the coolant options being used on our machines.
Below are the M codes I want to output in my post. I have a screenshot of my Machine Definition's coolant commands tab. I am 
not getting any M codes to post. What am I doing wrong? I thought the instructions for this seemed pretty straight forward but
I must be a little backwards.
 

# Coolant output code selection for X style coolant
# Note: To enable X style coolant, click on the General Machine Parameters icon
#   in the Machine Definition Manager, Coolant tab, disable first check box
#   Output of X style coolant commands in this post is controlled by pcan, pcan1, & pcan2
#   This string select is setup using the "Coolant Commands" tab in the "General Machine Parameters"
scool50 : "M08"    #Coolant 1 on value
scool51 : "M09"    #Coolant 1 off value
scool52 : "M07"    #Coolant 2 on value
scool53 : "M09"    #Coolant 2 off value
scool54 : "M07"    #Coolant 3 on value
scool55 : "M09"    #Coolant 3 off value
scool56 : "M50"    #Coolant 4 on value
scool57 : "M09"    #Coolant 4 off value
scool58 : ""    #Coolant 5 on value
scool59 : ""    #Coolant 5 off value
scool60 : ""    #Coolant 6 on value
scool61 : ""    #Coolant 6 off value
scool62 : ""    #Coolant 7 on value
scool63 : ""    #Coolant 7 off value
scool64 : ""    #Coolant 8 on value
scool65 : ""    #Coolant 8 off value
scool66 : ""    #Coolant 9 on value
scool67 : ""    #Coolant 9 off value
scool68 : ""    #Coolant 10 on value
scool69 : ""    #Coolant 10 off value
scoolantx : ""                    #Target for string

MPMaster reads the Strings directly from the Coolant Tab in the General Machine Parameters dialog box. It is no longer necessary to make the edits inside the Post...

Never mind got it working. I thought leaving the values blank in the MD was to display the default on/off instead of the custom code displaying inside the tool path parameters when selecting a coolant option. I had it reversed. I set my strings back to just quotations. Displaying on/off/ignore would be nice because we have a lot of custom coolant code here and not having to memorize if they are an on or off command would of been nice.

You can put it in the description if that helps:

Thru Spindle  (M38-On, M39-Off)

Bed Shower (M116-On, M117-Off)

Also, depending on how you output the Coolant codes (same line, or new line) you can also put a comment after the Mcode in the Dialog.

Flood Coolant                  M08 (Flood On)    M09 (Flood Off)

Thru Spindle                    M51 (Thru On)      M50 (Thru Off)

I like your idea for commenting. My coolant codes post on a separate line so I will be able to have them as comments after the M code. The description line wont hold enough characters to do it there. Thanks for your input.
