Hi Al,

I've been thumbing through the manual -
It says that the input interface signals 1 to 32 can be read by variables #1000 to #1031.
I'm hoping that the skip x4.7 is connected to one of these i/ps
I haven't got the electrical drawings with me, so I'll have to check when I get to work tomorrow.

I just want to check the probe closes on the back off move...just a bit of error checking realy, or that the tool hasn't mashed the tool setter ;-)

I wasn't sure if i could use a G31 with a G0 - I'll give that a try too.
