Hello,

I needed to use my probe to measure a few parts today, and I know that variable #188 holds the diameter of a part probed with the renishaw probe bore cycle (#188 technically holds the "size" measured for any feature with the macros). I wanted to print it onscreen for the user to see, but HAAS tells me this is impossible with anything but the absolute latest in pendant code (my machine is only 1 yr old).

Do you guys know otherwise?

I know I can set a pause with a message using variable #3006, or an alarm with #3000 (or #3001?), but neither of those will display a variable's value with anything I have tried.

I have a serial printer hooked up right now, but we use it elsewhere in the shop and I don't want to have to always use it.

I also know I could have an IF statement and determine if the part is in spec automatically and print that, but I would still like to be able to just display a value onscreen for times where that is more appropriate.

And ideas?
Thanks!
