Help choosing the good way for save/restore modal state

Hi

Can you help choosing the good way ?

I'm in the process of trying to find a workaround for modal value, if i remember correctly M73 M72 is not the most clean way to do this but i'm really unsure about what is the best practice ?

Playing with some macro using many modal value i try to use my own system in a all in one solution but this need to be saved at startup.

So i have do a hal link and ini config
At the start of each macro At the end of each macro At each error detected in macro

First what did you think of this attempt ? or what is for you the best and clean way for that ?

Second it is needed to invalide M71 in all macro ? (did you think is needed to add this in the backup_status.ngc/backup_restore)

Third i fail trying to read this ini value if you have any idea.

Well at the end i have found the first issue, i can't move from limit sensor using "limit override" button due to the use of MDI_command with machine.is-on

So for the moment i think the only way is to keep the more regular way using the same fixed value from ini in the ocode "RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE"
edit :

I see that now :
So i have do a check if _backup_var exist use the backup value, else use fixed value for now that seem to work fine.

I all way i like to know some opinion and some answear for that if possible :

Third i fail trying to read this ini value
if [#<_ini[DISPLAY]LATHE> EQ 1]
if you have any idea.

I think that M73 is the only way to save state, unless you want to explicitly save / restore only those things that you will change in the sub.

Many thanks for reply

I have found the full saved list :


So if i understand if for any reason this list is not what i want i need to use other solution.

For what i have tested using the same macro for ON_ABORT_COMMAND and save/restore for ocode seem to do the job better than using fixed value from ON_ABORT_COMMAND

The problem is i'm always afraid about choosing the wrong way.


Thanks
