On other thing we've done... before checking the small diameter CTS drill... do a tool change then change it back. It costs maybe 5 sec... it dumpster almost all the coolant out FAST.
I get the "which is better; touch or laser?" Question about 40% of the time. I always say both. #NotHelpful
They both have strengths and weaknesses. Which one you should get depends on a number of factors. What is the diameter of the tools you want to check. Do you want to check for broken teeth? Do you check a lot of small diameteter CTS drills?
There's other questions, but you get the jist. They each have a place.
You use a negative value in the H argument to check for a push/break and pull condition.
There is a cycle that puts the tool into the beam and feeds out then measures the position where the beam reappears. I'm thinking P9864 maybe??? Been a long week.
If the user account it was installed under, or if there are not adequate permissions for the user account it is being used under that can cause the HASP to not be seen.
Does the HASP have the red light on it or is it off?
I made some pretty large scale changes over the last month or so.
Gone are the High Speed Mode selections. It's automatic now based on tool_op$
WSEC Offset now can follow the G54.1P offset if desired. And a few other things.

A note about Canned Text... "Before", "With" and "After", as far as I can tell, it doesn't make one bit of difference. I ALWAYS put stuff in the "Before" to keep things clean.
To CAMplete, those are nothing more than switches. The text is for our benefit. CAMplete does not read the text it treats it as a switch; off or on. If on, then do something. If off, move along nothing here to see. All the appropriate settings for your machine in the above attached PDF need ot be set. I mean you can put the teailstock in your MX but it's just going to alarm the machine when the code tries to execute.
That's why he's STILL an operator and will probably always be an operator. Can't manage to get the asy stuff right, sure can;t trust him to get the hard stuff right.
