On my CNC router we use a ZShift function to reference the top of the material. The ZShift is the sum of the material thickness and a 1/4 wasteboard. I have my post setup that it brings up the material thickness, but I cannot figure out the formula to add the 1/4" wasteboard thickness. Does anyone know how to do this formula in the Notepad editor.
Thanks,
Zach

Re: Post Processor Modification
Zach,
You would have to script that into a program block. Say we are using program block 1. Where you want the Z shift, you would type program_block_1. Then in program block 1, you would doing the following.
dblZShiftValue = Round(MILL_GetGlobalStockHeight(),4) + .25
Mill_SetReturnstring("ZSHIFT=" & dblZShiftValue)
