I have renishaw probe macros. I am wanting to DPRNT to a card.

I have already run into a couple hang-ups using the macros that I have. O9730 ren print, it has a line such as DPRNT[----------------------------------------------------------------]; where there are 73 characters in the one block. It took me a few hours to figure it out, but on my control I can only have up to 68 characters in one block. So I modified the program to have less than that for all blocks.

anyway, I am interested to print the results here to my cf card. But its not working. the program executes OK but nothing appears on the card. I expected a file to appear, and to either overwrite each time I run the program, throw an error, or append to the existing file. This is not happening. Maybe my control is too old? I read somewhere that you can set 6013 level parameters to control some of this behavior but in my manuals its not listed.

I do have this working over serial, I can read the ren print / DPRNT output over RS232 to a PC.
