HAAS VF-1 NEED HELP WITH M30 COUNTER

[SWISS20]

hello everyone, we have two m30 counters on the machine but can only 0 them out by highlighting them and pressing origin, but I am trying to figure out and if I can put a number in manually, we pull of jobs in the middle often and go back to them but gets irritating to keep adding the numbers up.
Thanks for any help!

I need this every so often also. I just put an m30 in MDI, and hit cycle start as many times as I need.

System variables 3901 and 3902 are your respective M30 counters (1 and 2). IF you have the macro programming option, in MDI, you can make a statement that reads #3901= 40.; and the counter will then be set to 40. You can change that number to anything you want to change it to.

The #3901= is all one "code" so you will need to type all of that before you press enter, if you type #3901 and = seperately, the macro statement will not function.

Some system variables on the Haas control are read only, but the M30 counters are not, you can read and write to them. If you don't have the macro's option, you will be stuck running M30 over and over again in MDI to increment the counter up before you begin. It's a control software option, so you can call your HFO any time and have it added to the machine with an unlock code.
