Start macro with input button - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I have made a macro for release of my tool. It contains several operations. I also made a button on my screen that executes the macro. But now I want to use an external input button to execute the same macro. How do I do that?

I tried the OEM 301 and it works but lets say I want to execute several macros with different inputs, how do I do that?

Is it possible to connect an input to an hotkey? Because then I can give my screen button a hotkey, or am I wrong?

Nice forum!

You assign the hotkey in Screen4, then, in ports and pins, set an OEM Trigger for the external input and assign the same hotkey as the button.

How do I assign a hotkey to the OEM Trigger? In the System Hotkeys?

Ports and Pins, I think. Input Signals page.

I have tried the hotkey tab in the Input Signal page but it seams to be for emulating the input with the hotkey. Or am I wrong?
