Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

Chris,

In what condition do the "cooridnate system" and "tool set" become active in the Indrustrial skin?

you need to be homed for both buttons to work.

coordinate system is available in the setup page - Its really just a convenience button.
select it and press the up or down buttons to select one of the nine user systems. the current system is displayed in the upper right.

You must select an axis before the 'tool set' button.

So then the "tool set" is a probe tool setter?

Tool Set is used for touching tools off on your workpiece,

For instance when you touch off in the X and press Tool Set, a box pops up and you enter the appropriate value, then when you press enter, it applys that value to your tool table.

Ok, thanks Haas calls that tool offset measure.

I have gscreen installed on one of our machines. It is not ready for production yet as there are several alarms and errors. It looks as though everything works except the hardbuttons on the control. I plan on building a standard control however this one is not it. The hard Estop button works though which I am happy about. The jog wheel is not functiong and I cant change the jog increments or jog with the incremental touch screen buttons. Postion goto works just fine. feel free to tell me what I dont know
