I'm using G92 global offset and would like to set it programatically (that is, outside of using GCode G91 x y z). If the global offset for G92 is considered the 0 index of the Interpreter.SetOrigin() method, setting the G92 global offset be:

Interpreter.SetOrigin(0,x,y,z,a,b,c)

Does this function actually *sets* the offset from the machine location, or does it add an offset to any already existing offset?
The reason I ask is that, if it truly 'sets', I should be able to 'reset' the G92 global offset by using SetOrigin(0,0,0,0,0,0,0). If it adds to the existing offset, that would have no effect and I would need a method of resetting the offset to zeroes.

Hi Sam,

nterpreter.SetOrigin(0,x,y,z,a,b,c)

It 'sets' the offsets. But it only changes the GCode Vars 5211... The active Axis Offsets also need to be updated with:

KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.SetupParams.X_AxisOffset = 0;
KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.SetupParams.Y_AxisOffset = 0;
KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.SetupParams.Z_AxisOffset = 0;
etc

Thank you, Tom. I'll have to explore that a bit more.

After exploring this a bit, I've decided that it makes more sense (for me) to utilize G52 codes instead of G92 as it is easier to reset from a GCode standpoint. Thank you.
