Hi Henk,
The "Var" parameter for macros in the KMotionCNC Tool Setup Screen specifies which persist Variables in KFLOP will be used to exchange information.
For the
Spindle Command S (which is implemented in the same way as a M Code Macro) the Spindle speed is set into the specified variable as a 32-bit floating point number.
For the M6 Tool change macro the Tool number is placed into the Variable as a 32-bit integer
Other Macros without any
parameters will place the M code number into the variable as a 32-bit integer (ie M105 will set the value 105).
For Macros with P Q R parameters will place the 3 parameters as 3 32-bit floats beginning at the specified Var. see:

Regarding which persist variables are used for what - at this point it is up to you to keep track of what Variables are used in your system. There are a few defined in PC_DSP.h such as:
#define PC_COMM_PERSIST
100 // First Persist Variable that is uploaded in status
#define N_PC_COMM_PERSIST 8 // Number of Persist Variables that are uploaded in status
#define MACH3_PROBE_STATUS_VAR 62
#define MACH3_PROBE_RESULTS_VAR 50

Thanks Tom. Understand, thats really powerful. Regards On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Tom Kerekes <tk@...> wrote:
