Running a Mazak Nexus 640 control, when posting out to EIA we added a G43 H for Z offsetting.
The controller is now asking for a Feed Rate on this line also.
How should we have configured our post, so we have Z offsetting control yet not have to give it a F value.
 
Also, if for some reason you're in a G1 mode prior to giving the G43 command, the machine will ask for a feedrate as well. I get a feeling that the machine default status is set to G1 and not G0. This is controlled by parameter F94 bit 3 (you are on a Fusion control and not the Matrix right?). Just something else to check for and you won't need a G0 on the G43 line.

But, look in your programming first. If you give it a G1 before the G43 call (even on a line without movement), it will be looking for a feed rate.
