We're trying to do a calibration on an RS-150 that was recently retrofitted with MeasureMax. Whoever installed this, didn't set the scale factors very well in the comp file. We haven't even gotten to the X or Z axes yet but the Y axis was out .0005" in just 24". Not good for this machine. How do we change the scale factor?

We can send the command SM 1,1,1 to change it but that only lasts as long as the particular program you are writing. When you start a new program, you need to send it again. We've tried changing the .cfg file but it has no effect.

There is a .bas file in the c:\programfiles\measure\source\template directory that has the SM command in it that I feel is where we need to be so that the command gets sent with every program but it's a Visual Basic file that I am unfamiliar with and cannot edit. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
