Queue is not empty after probing

I am using the probe for a fairly large piece of wood. It is about 200 mm by 100 mm and I am stepping by 1mm increments.

I'm running EMC2_2.4.3 on ubutnu 10.04.


Everything seems to work fine, but after a few thousand points are collected I get this error in AXIS... "Queue is not empty after probing" and the program halts.

I will then tweak the program to continue from the point that it halted, and rerun it. Things then run well again for a few thousand points, then the error pops up again.

What does this error mean?

Thanks,
Curtis

i'd say the queue buffer is becoming full of points .. i.e the available memory for the stored points is at capacity
and that the queue has not been saved , which would empty the buffer , probably due to the vast number of points you are taking

can you split the job into smaller parts , and then perhaps copy and paste together after collecting all the points ,

or loop your file to store the points say every 500 lines to file

can you post your program , members may then be able to suggest an alternative route
