It's not just "hal_manualtoolchage" either, the OS can pop up a window or change focus for any reason, at any time. The only stop button that can legitimately be called an "emergency" stop button, is one that physically, in hardware, will stop the machine, regardless of what the PC or the machine are doing. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
