4 axis Lathe Macro Variables - Fanuc Oi-TD

Allo!

We have a purchase a new CNC 4 axis lathe. This is essenstially 2 CNC controls running concurrently.

We also have a renishaw probe installed. Which uses a lot of Macro B to function. No problem there.

my question is if I probe with Turret #1 and stored results in a Variable, say #501. This variable is not available to Turret #2. It has its own Variable #501. In other words, it's like having 2 cnc's separately controlled. Mirror images of each other. So what could be done to "SHARE" some data between the 2 Turrets?

Are there some details on variables that I am missing?

Thanks!

This is from the 0iT-D Lathe Operator's Manual Section 8.3:

It's possible to make a range of common variables shared between the 2 sides.

I had to do the same on similar control. We had to change a system parameter to do it.

I don't remember which.
