From the VCP buttons definition in his report:
"One Shot Chamfer" sends skin event 19.
The PLC recognizes skin event 19 as Aux11, and uses it to trigger "DoAux11Key"
"DoAux11Key" would run whatever function you specified with Parameter 198.
"One Shot Turn" sends skin event 20.
The PLC recognizes skin event 20 as Aux12, and uses it to trigger "DoAux12Key"
"DoAux12Key" would run whatever function you specified with Parameter 199.
"One Shot Lathe Facing" sends skin event 66, Aux13, DoAux13Key, Parameter 292.
"One Shot Radius" sends skin event 67, Aux14, DoAux14Key, Parameter 293.
"One Shot Lathe Drill" sends skin event 68, Aux15, DoAux15Key, Parameter 294.
So you need to set some parameters, as Uwe indicated, but not parameters 188-192. Instead you need to set those values in parameters 198, 199, 292, 293 and 294.
Thanks this works, just tested. Did not know that P292 is for AUX13 ect. It is not Not in the manual...
Centroids One shots are different from mine setup

ok thanks. So does that now mean that the parameters I changed are now going to cause other issues? Can't remember what they were actually set to before changing them, is zero a good idea to put back in there (P188 to P192)?

Yes they are 0 by default.

Well without doubt after the machine/control had been powered down overnight, those 5 parms had reset to 0 without me changing them?? I know they had been saved at the values Uwe gave me because I double checked twice because nothing was happening when pressing the buttons, I went back in to check those values had been saved, and they had! So today, I was going to reset them to 0 but didn't need to as they were already at 0? Strange things happening!

Ok, so used the facing one shot and it's doing crazy things. It's changing the header to nonsense, the date to 2004? Although I'm learning, I still think that the unnecessary tool offset generated does cause problems, my lathe was left basically with tool 0101 in the machine but it was at tool 0100 offseton the DRO, I don't seem to have any control over this? I've included the g code file generated and a pic of the weird header?? (The stock size was set x31,9 and z15, I did not change to whats in the header)

You are running Beta R4, pls update to R6.
What date shows Windows?
CNC12 is using the date/time from Windows.

I know, its crazy, windows showing correct date and time. Hmm didn't notice that it was rev4, but I thought the oneshots came new with rev6?

If the PC got an hard reset, maybe some files are corrupted.
With new install R6 problem is solved.

The crazy characters and date in the header are because you are opening the one-shots in Intercon. They are not meant to be opened in Intercon - hence the name one-shot.
If you have made changes to the one-shot in Intercon, you will need to reload the files from a backup as they will no longer operate correctly. One-shots are designed to be opened only by the Aux key functions.
