We are installing a new Zeiss CMM and want to use UMESS option UX18. Our setup will be a bit special and to make it work, I have to know if it's possible for the CNC program to detect from which station it was started.
I thought about defining an options button indicating the station number with a PCM parameter assigned, but then the users (who know nothing about CMMs) would have to make sure they never change these buttons, otherwise the results could be unpredictable.
I would prefer a more user-friendly way where these settings are unchangeable. Can it be done?
