Editing MACH 3 Screen Sets

Do we have any MACH 3 experts lurking on the forum ?

I have MACH 3 running my plasma table - working well - it has customised screen sets designed by Purelogic (Russian outfit) tailored for the ethernet driven Torch Height controller.

On the screen is a button to enable or dis-able the torch height controller and it defaults to 'disabled' and thus displays Red. All I want to do it make it default to 'Enabled' and thus display in Green. As you might surmise I keep forgetting to enable it, and yesterday that cost me a set of torch consumables  :bang:

I'd imagine that somewhere a variable is declared as a binary value and given a starting state, but I've down loaded one MACH 3 screen editor (Machscreen C 1.66 by K. Dietz) and cannot relate the screen button / led to any code.

Any help would be appreciated . . .   :scratch:

PK:
It might just be as simple as running a custom M script on startup?
In any case I've pulled mach3 to bits and made it do unwholesome things for a number of occasions.

PK many thanks for the offer of help – rar on the way as an email – I hope it gets through as 37 mB !

The profile is “PLPLASMA” so I kick off ‘Mach3loader’ which lets you choose a profile, then I select ‘PLPlasma’ which brings up the customised screens.

There is a button labelled ‘THC enabled’ which starts off red (disabled) and can be toggled on by a mouse click. I want it to default ‘On’ at start up.

There is a custom macro M905.m1s in the mach3\macros\plplasma\ directory which will toggle the value, and looking at it, it is using ‘DoOEMButton(123)’ which looks to be a standard Mach3 defined button, but I want to specifically set it on – no use toggling when you don’t know the starting point !

I very much appreciate your assistance.

Andrew

It is Russian; you can have any colour you like, as long as it’s Red.  :doh:
