Setting up an X2 post

[90rsgnuguy42]

Up until now I've been using V9 posts that have been tweaked to give me the exact output I like to see. But it has come to my attention that there is a possibility I may get more functionality (hopefully not more problems) from the X2 post so I'm in the process of setting those up. The problem I'm having is on my initial positioning move (for the 1st tool and all following tools) I like the line to look like this:

G0G90G54~X~Y~B~M3S~

The ~ being whatever it is.

The point being I want all that info on that 1 line.

But I can't get anything after the B to show up on the same line. Is there something limiting how many characters per line?

What post did you start with? If you are using MPMaster, there is a setting in the Miscellanous integers called "safe index". This breaks up the rotary moves from the XYZ position, spindle on, and spindle speed. When off, it outputs all those parameters on one line.

I'm starting with MPFAN. Where might I find the MPMASTER?
