I am using a probe, on a Haas, which reads a few points at top of a plate (work piece) and stores them respectively in different work offsets.
I need to find the lowest point and enter it in the program workoffset (G54).

For now I am doing it manualy every time. I wonder if there is a way to program that in macro?

To put it in words it would be something like:
(G54 Z) = ??THE LEAST OF?? (G55 Z) OR (G56 Z) OR (G57 Z) OR (G58 Z)

Closer to actual code it would be:
#5223 = ??THE LEAST OF?? #5243 OR #5263 OR #5283 OR #5303 ???


I would appreciate any help or opinion on this.

Thanks!

I am not sure if there is a function for the Haas that can do what you are looking for.
If your machine allows IF, and GT statments this should work. Lets say that #5243, #5263, #5283, #5303 are your 1-4 probe hits and #5223 is the G54 Z.

IF[#5243GT#5263]GOTO1
IF[#5243GT#5283]GOTO1
IF[#5243GT#5303]GOTO1
#5223=#5243
M30 OR M99----depend if it is a sub program or main program
N1
IF[#5263GT#5283]GOTO2
IF[#5263GT#5303]GOTO2
#5223=#5263
M30 OR M99
N2
IF[#5283GT#5303]GOTO3
#5223=#5283
M30 OR M99
N3
#5223=#5303
M30 OR M99

I did not run this through anything to make sure there were no errors but it should work.

Best of luck
