Oh, what is initial autozero and initial autozero + tool change?

It needs to be run at 1024x768, with Auto Screen enlarge turned off in Mach3 so it doesn't get stretched. On a widescreen, it should just take up a portion of the screen. If you let it stretch, the text get's very blurry.
I removed the sample I had posted, and will make a new one when it's done.

The screen will be set up to use the auto zero macro's from Big Tex.

The initial button is to auto zero with the first tool, then reference to a fixed touch off plate.
The tool change button runs the M6 macro, which will move to a tool change location, wait for you to change the tool, then autozero to the fixed plate and resume cutting. Basically no interaction needed when changing tools other than pressing cycle start.

I'll probably have an alternate version with "standard" tool change options as well. The separate tabs will make it easy to customize for different applications. Any modifications made will be included.
