Is M200 an Unlock?? (Resolved)

My control just came out of demo mode. In a possibly related observation, I recently noticed that M200 no longer creates a prompt and just acts as a normal M0. Is this normal or weird coincidence?

In a design decision that defies logic, M200 is tied to the "jog during M0" software unlock.

The rest of us have to use M225 instead, being sure to have a variable handy that can always have a value of zero (or be set to zero without consequence).

For example:

Code: Select all

#100 = 0
M225 #100 "Move the hold-down clamps, then press Cycle Start"

My co-workers are starting to wonder what I'm laughing about... thank you!
