Thread: H&T agreement + probing

I want to turn H&T code agreement off to use the whole tool table on my CM-1, but does that break tool probing? The parameters for P9023/P9853 seem to only have the Tool number, not a length or diameter offset into the table, so both measuring and break detection wouldn't work? I am not opposed to writing new macros, just hoping I am missing something and they aren't needed.

I have H&T code agreement turned off with no effect on measuring tools.
On mine, tool breakage won't work with it turned on.

Can you show your tool measuring code line? Thanks!

But that only has the T number, how would you tell it to update H175 instead of H1?

I suppose you could read and reassign the system variable for H1. You can also use G10 to set length, dia, etc. I don’t think there is a way to strictly use the probing routine though.
