I have the following problem, Use the Touch off option, to find the zeros of the X and Y axes. After finding them try to execute a G code, but I always get a warning that says MSM WARNING Spindle Start with probe tool mounted, Spindle Start will be ignored.
The code is executed but the spindle does not turn.
I leave the MACH 3 program, but the problem continues and it does not let the spindle turn. How can I remove this restriction, if the probe tools is not connected or is being used?

Hi,
The message is saying that the probe tool is mounted. OR at least Mach thinks that the probe tool is mounted. Look at the current tool number DRO and see what the current tool number is. I bet that number is the same as the tool number that you have told MSM is the probe tool (WC OFfset page, probing tab, Probe Tool # DRO).
Whenever the current tool = the probe tool #, MSM will not allow the spindle to start. MSM was designed to assume a wired probe tool _ and running the spindle when a tool is mounted that has a wire which goes from the tool would wrap the wire around the tool and break it.

Mount any tool other than the probe tool and the spindle will operate normally.

On a different 2nd topic: I see that you are using a no-english windows setup. Please see item 4.53 in the MSM release notes. Mach is known not to work correctly when when windows is set to a non-english language.
