    gauge block settings

    Can any one help
    I need to to know was settings do I put in for a 10mm gauge block
    into the zero tool script.

    This is the script I am using

    CurrentFeed = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current feedrate.
    PlateThickness =0.059
    ProbeFeed = 5


    Code "G90 F" &ProbeFeed

    If GetOemLed (825)=0 Then
    Code "G4 P2" 'Time to get to the z-plate
    Code "G31Z-5 F" &ProbeFeed
    While IsMoving()
    Wend
    Code "G4 P0.25"
    ZProbePos = GetVar(2002)
    Code "G0 Z" &ZProbePos
    While IsMoving ()
    Wend
    Call SetDro (2, PlateThickness)
    Code "G4 P0.5" 'Pause for Dro to update.
    Code "G0 Z0.25" 'Change the Z retract height here
    Code "(Z axis is now zeroed)"
    Code "F" &CurrentFeed
    Else
    Code "(Z-Plate is grounded, check connection and try again)"
    Exit Sub
    End If


    if you edit it would be gratefully appreciated.
    Cheers

    This is probably the wrong forum to be asking this but I would guess that the plate thickness number should be changed to the inch equivalent of 10mm which is:

    0.3937007874015748 (or round it off to 0.3937)
