This link explains how to prevent an application like MACH3 from writing to the VirtualStore folder created on a per user basis.

Like as :? C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\MACH3\macros\Mach3Mill

?

Now (finally!) when I edit a file like Macropump.m1s? it's actually editing the one in the C:/MACH folder which is where I moved MACH3.? And on that note with respect to the MacroPump accessing Modio I/O pins set as INPUTx and OUTPUTx…

?

I can make the STATUS message show "OUTPUT6 is ON" but if I enable the testing on the output value after the input goes inactive I don't get the message "OUTPUT6 is OFF". I have to remove the test on IsActive(OUTPUT6) in order to have the STATUS message change.

?

The reason I'm testing is that I really don't need that message being repeated constantly clogging up the HISTORY with extra messages.

?

?

' Show the user the state of the INPUT #2 input
If IsActive(INPUT2) Then
????? If IsActive(OUTPUT6) = FALSE Then
??????????? Message( "OUTPUT6 is ON" )
??????????? ActivateSignal(OUTPUT6)
????? End If
Else
'???? If IsActive(OUTPUT6) Then
??????????? Message( "OUTPUT6 is OFF" )
'???? end if???
????? DeactivateSignal(OUTPUT6)
End If

?

And finally, is there a way to edit the Macropump file and then have MACH3 reload it without stopping and restarting MACH3?

?

Thanks

John
