Conditional block - Probing routine

; New stand-off position for the probe (T99)
#<_ProbeStandOffX> =   1135.0    ; X coordinate for probe stand-off
#<_ProbeStandOffY> =    516.0    ; Y coordinate for probe stand-off

O120 IF [ #<_current_tool> EQ 99 ]
        G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] Z[#<_TravelZ>]                ; Move Z0 for traveling
        G53 G0 X[#<_ProbeStandOffX>] Y[#<_ProbeStandOffY>]  ; Move to probe stand-off position
     ELSE
        G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] Z[#<_TravelZ>]
        G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] X[#<_ToolChangeX>] Y[#<_ToolChangeY>]  ( Moves to tool setter for manual tool change )
O120 ENDIF

The top section never gets qualified, even though variable #5400 has 99 stored in it.  

I'm not sure this will work anyway.  I want to put in the typical M6 T99, and perform the tool setter routine.  But in my case,
I want T99 to send the probe to a fixed location instead.  All other tools, ie;  M6 T2 would go to the tool setter. 

 

You can try #<tool_in_spindle> instead of #<_current_tool>

Thanks for the suggestion. Changing the code as you suggested, upon restarting, I get a "Named parameter #<tool_in_spindle> not defined.

This is only available with remap M6. Just use #5400 ?

Ya, I tried #5400 direct, but that section of code still gets bypassed.

Here is the last version:

O120 IF [ #5400 EQ 99 ]
G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] Z[#<_TravelZ>] ; Move Z0 for traveling
G53 G0 X[#<_ProbeStandOffX>] Y[#<_ProbeStandOffY>] ; Move to probe stand-off position
ELSE
G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] Z[#<_TravelZ>]
G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] X[#<_ToolChangeX>] Y[#<_ToolChangeY>] ( Moves to tool setter for manual tool change )
O120 ENDIF

I tried adding some msg lines to see what the passed value of #5400 is, but it doesn't seem to work. Thoughts?

Actually, I just tried adding this and it worked:

(debug,Probing result: #5061, #5062, #5063, #5400)

Now I know why the top section isn't working:

Proving result: -1.28423, 1.042565, -54.0855234, 0.0000000

So, #5400 isn't passing what is in linuxcnc.var file #5400

Great...

I just added this:

(debug,Probing result: #<_current_tool>)

O120 IF [ #5400 EQ 99 ]
G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] Z[#<_TravelZ>] ; Move Z0 for traveling
G53 G0 X[#<_ProbeStandOffX>] Y[#<_ProbeStandOffY>] ; Move to probe stand-off position
ELSE
G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] Z[#<_TravelZ>]
G53 G1 F[#<_TravelFeed>] X[#<_ToolChangeX>] Y[#<_ToolChangeY>] ( Moves to tool setter for manual tool change )
O120 ENDIF

The message result was Probing result: 0.000000

I'm beginning to think, either I don't have access to the tool when entering M6 T(tool number), or there is a different way to do this.
