tool change confirm w/o pushing button? - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I've been running and programming a ezpath 2 for 11 years now. I love the things, so I bought my own. I have a job that I'm going to gang tool up. Is there a way to change tool offsets without having to press the button to confirm the tool change?
Thanks

I heard once from a repairman that there was a parameter you could change. No idea how to do it, maybe Machinetek or EMI would know.

Any idea where I could pick up a service manual?
thanks

Try machinemanuals.com as they may have a maintenance manual on CDROM.

Even if you used the same tool number but a different offset (since you are gang tooling) it may still require a tool call and thus verification (button push).
The intent was a not a fully automatic bar feeder machine running unattended. I believe the power path with the auto tool turret had a bar feeder interface option.
