    Monitor water cooling of spindle

    I need to write a Macro Pump ( I think) to monitor fluid flow from 2.2 KW water cooled spindle. ( I want to stop or pause machine if water flow is interrupted from the spindle). I have the circuit designed and constructed so that I get a True/False signal to one of the inputs of my BOB but I don't know how to use the info to stop the router.
    The Artsoft tutorial is fairly limited and I was hoping some one can direct me to a better (more advanced) tutorial on using scripts and macros in Mach3. If not perhaps a kind person could tell me how to do it.

    Something like this:

    If IsActive(Input1) then
    DoOEMButton(1001)


    Save as Macropump.m1s in the proper macro folder, and enable macropump in general config.
