Worked out all the math, all the equations, checked with the yasnac macro specs, made the program, loaded it into the machine, tried to run and I get alarm 0103 illegal character
I cannot seem to use any of the #[]+* keys in a program without throwing this alarm. I cant even set a variable from mdi because it throws the alarm..
I cannot figure out a way and sifting through my manuals has provided no insight other than the paramter values for EIA/ISO the chars apply to.. all were set to 0 from pm4100 and on (corresponding to the chars) so I tried changing them to 1 with no dice.
For now I went through the process of calculating each point, thankfully I only had 20 points for 40 calculations, and thanks to new age calculators I didnt have to input the equation each time just modify the vars.. but still I was quite excited to put a macro to work :/
Any ideas guys?
