The problem appears to be, and have tested it several times.
When starting on the Wips tool setter calibration page you jog down to the top of the setter somewhere around .2 to .4 above it says to press F1 to record the position.
followed by X and then Y (you should have swept the ots for center before now)
Then comes the offset number, it instructs you on the screen to press "enter" to store the position.
This is the problem
You must press F1 here NOT ENTER
Pressing enter here would cause the divide by zero error everytime I tried it.
Once I was onto the problem I did find it difficult to then get it back into the failing state, it required entering and exiting the Wips menu I think. "cancel"
Long story short, if you press "F1" on the tool offset field,the cursor it will advance to tool length AND erase any value already in that field. You can then enter the length and press "ENTER"
and it will advance to diameter. Erasing any value that may have been there before.
This erasing function is a key indicator that it IS working as intended.
The Wips manual is also incorrect as it states to navigate from the tool number to length with the down arrow. This along with the enter button will both cause the divide by zero alarm.
The tool length offset register issue I started this thread with was a red herring. Symptom of the F1 omission, not the cause of the cycle not working. But the true cause gets hidden by too many solutions applied at once.
