    Re: Heidenhain DPRNT equivalent

    FN16 FPRINT is what you need. You can then set up a TNCCMD script to automatically obtain the value. PM me if you want more details.

    Re: VM10u and Renishaw probe

    What model of probe is it? I am guessing OMP and either 40 or 60.
    Just checking in case is RMP or a 400/600.

    Correct on an 18i, but incorrect on a Fanuc 30i. You can DPRNT to channel 9 on these machines, though it does require some file manipulation at the PC end.
