Hi,
I am trying to use macros to monitor Haas VF-3 8/97 machine thru RS-232 output
I used informations from topic on this forum: topic Programmed RS-232 output, but i cannot make it running
In my program I added G65 code like this

001 %
002 O2893
003 N1 G20 G65 P1111
.
.
165 N155 M30 G65 P2222

And I made macro like this:
001 %
002 O1111
003 POPEN
004 DPRNT[START]
005 PCLOS
006 M99

When I start program, I get alarm 535-Illegal DPRNT statement

Did you refer to the Tech Manuals or HAAS Tech Support. That alarm doesn't seem to be listed in the standard operators manual I used.

Try this link for your alarm.

Try something easy first. Maybe the following:

N1 G103 P1 (LIMIT BLOCK LOOK AHEAD);
N2 DPRNT[***MEASURED*INSIDE*DIAMETER***];
N3 DPRNT[];
N4 G103; (RESTORE BLOCK LOOK AHEAD)

If you are still having trouble you can always call your dealer or the Haas Automation Applications department for help.
