    Macro Variable #500

    Does variable #500 have anything to do with the Renishaw probing system? I hit an incorrect button and accidently changed the value of #500. I looked at my Renishaw book and although there are some #5xx variables used, from what I read I think I'm safe. But since tearing the probe up isn't on my list of things to do, I would feel better knowing for sure if I need to recalibrate or not.

    Thanks!

    That depends on whether you are running the WIPS version of Renishaw Probing. If your OMP40 probe has a Haas logo on it, then that is most likely the WIPS option, and the base macro variable for Renishaw Probing is #556:

    #0 to #33 Volatile (for general use)
    #100 to #119 Reserved for Haas use
    #120 to #139 Available for user
    #140 to #155 Purchased devices (probe, bar feeder, pallet changer,
    etc.)
    #156 to #199 Probe use
    #500 to #519 Reserved for Haas use
    #520 to #539 Available for user
    #540 to #555 Purchased devices (probe, bar feeder, pallet changer,
    etc.)
    #556 to #599 Probe use
