Hi Ray,
Looks like C# doesn't make it easy. The DSP is expecting the 32-bit binary image of the floating point number to be sent as a 32-bit integer.
As you may know in C it is easy. Just make a point to the float, recast it as a pointer to an integer, then dereference the pointer:
float f=1.234;
int i;
i = *(int *)&f;
But I doubt anything like that is possible in C# as it breaks all the rules.
I found BitConverter
Looks the that will give you the 4 bytes that make up the float.
You can then just combine them to make an integer the send it using SetPersistHex.
I suppose we should add a library call as SetPersistFloat to handle it easily over on the C side.

Tom,
I would very much like to have that library call, and a corresponding method in dotNet.
While I have you here.... In the interpreter, what is the difference between "Abort" and "Halt"? I'm assuming "Halt" is used to stop parsing for something like a FeedHold, so that it retains state, and can be resumed, while "Abort" stops and discards state, essentially resetting the interpreter. Is that correct?

I have SSO working. So, next "How do I..." questions:
How do I get the current tool, and current fixture? They don't seem to be available in the APIs. I can "fudge" by parsing the current G-code line, but that will only get me close, which could be dangerous. I can see how I can use the DSP to capture the current tool accurately, but not the current fixture.

Brad,
I see some tool number info in there. SetupParams.CurrentToolSlot seems like the only one that would help me, but it doesn't appear to be reflecting the current tool number.
I don't see anything that would give be the current fixture. There is a method to set the fixture. Perhaps both would come out of the Modal reports?

I use CurrentToolSlot in MM and it appears to work correctly.
