How to probe part length and print out measurement on Haas GR510 controller?

I am trying to measure and display the length of a part following a cut to length program. The nominal part dimension is 83.912". 

 

I have done this successfully on a Haas VF2SS, but it is not working on the GR510 for some reason. I cannot remember how I made it happen on the other machine.

I have probe geometry programmed with no actions enabled.

 

What post processor do I need to use? Do I need to change any machine settings such as DPRNT?

I tried with print results checked and the HAAS - Next Generation Control Inspection post processor, but it did not display the measurement.

you have to first designate the Dprint folder location on the controller. It doesnt auto-generate it for you inside that same folder as your gcode.

Are you referring to these machine settings?

I am not sure what they should be to have the print out on the display, but I am also ok with it printing the value to a folder on the controller or a USB. I just want to obtain the value/

Set it to File, change location with setting 262, and incorporate G103 into your macro as well.



G103 is useful for limiting look-ahead. If you wanted to limit look-ahead interpretation to one block, you would include this command at the start of your program: This causes the control to look ahead (2) blocks.

G103 P1 ;

To cancel the look-ahead limit, change the command to G103 P0.   G103 cannot be used when cutter compensation is active.
