is it possible to reload the current program through a hal pin?

i'm building a sort of pendant which includes a button for touching off the current axis. the touch-off works however unless the program is reloaded the backplot does not reflect the offset properly. and the only solution I found is to reload program (I guess that's what the touchoff button in axis does?)

or is there some other way to update the backplot?

thanks

Looks like one way. You probably need to make a pin call an MDI_COMMAND that calls a M101 custom-G-code that runs a script that calls axis-remote.
So, it's a bit of a long-winded kludge.
I think that GladeVCP allows you to link actions direct to controls, which is a bit more elegant.
