[Emc-users] Tool Offset Parameters?

I was just trying to figure out something and found in my opinion the Linuxcnc parameters for #5401-5409 seem to be very broken. The parameters only return the stored offsets for what ever tool number is loaded. This seems very wrong to me, because the tool number loaded may have nothing to

A few quick tests to try to narrow this down: 1. Does running the same command with G61 fix the issue? 2. In G64, if you call a subroutine via MDI that does multiple moves, is just the last move at reduced acceleration? 3. Does the last move of a program accelerate slowly as well? If

Yes, it was a permission issue. After I added the user to the "dialout" group it worked fine. Thanks Peter for putting me on the right track. That might be something that should be added to the Mb2hal documentation. (If there isn't something about it already there.) Todd Zuercher P. Graham
