There was a recent thread discussing how to do macro for tool height setter for Speedio. Thought I'd post my approach. I'm using the preset length approach whereby the tool lengths are positive, and one needs to set the G54 Z value to workpiece height. In addition, I'm using the Speedio POTs with tool numbers programmed via MDI/ATC Tool with preset values. One runs a program that specifies the POT number, the macro determines the tool number associated with the POT, moves the POT/tool into spindle, runs the tool height setter and saves the offset for the tool. One program per POT. I've also got my Siemens NX Tool Library configured to match the Speedio tools 1 through 99, got all my tools/holders ready to go in my Huot cart to match, so everything flows very nicely when setting up new jobs. Caveat: Adjust your M codes to match your tool height setter and local conditions.
Here's the program for POT 1:
(T1 SINGLE TOOL LENGTH OFFSET SETTING)
($Id: O0001.NC,v 1.2 2023/07/06 22:14:54 drc Exp $)
(SETUP
(SET TOOL NUMBER IN MDI/ATC TOOLS FOR GIVEN POT)
(MOUNT TOOL IN GIVEN POT)
(RUN PROGRAM)
G65P8001 T1 (SET T = POT # TO BE MEASURED)

And here's the macro:
(SINGLE TOOL TOUCH OFF)

And here's the program that saves away global values used by the macro, this only needs to be run when the values change as the values are stored in non-volatile memory:
