I am trying to figure out how to probe G54 using a Mazatrol program so I can use the G54 in an EIA program. When I add the probing to the Mazatrol program it looks like this:
WPC-0 Add. WPC X Y th Z 4

I know to probe Mazatrol WPC I need to fill out the XYZ locations close so it can probe, that all works fine. However, when I tab over to Add. WPC, the soft keys show G54-G59 (plus additional letters) but when I pick G54, it zeros out the XYZ values, and then when I move over to the XYZ values, it clears the G54 from Add. WPC.

Can someone please shed some light on how this is supposed to work?
 
You just select G54 or whatever you want from the softkey. Then it's going to look at the work offset table page like an EIA program. You won't actually see the values in the mazatrol unit, but it works just fine.
 
A friend with more Mazak mill experience solved the problem. After choosing the G54... soft key, you have to go into MDI and then use normal Mazatrol probing to set the fixture offset. When the machine probes, nothing shows on the screen, but it does set the fixture offset.
