| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 DressInterrupt | ( | ) |
Trigger a dress interrupt to cause the running program to perform a dress cycle.
Sets pound variable #998 to 1 only when the machine state (MACH_STATE) is between 100 and 199 (inclusive), which corresponds to active grinding states. The G-code program monitors this variable to initiate a dress cycle at the next opportunity.
| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 DROToToolTable | ( | dro_names | , |
| value | ) |

| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 EmergencyRetract | ( | ) |
Perform a full emergency retract sequence with reentrancy protection.
Uses w.FuncTracing to prevent multiple simultaneous emergency retract sequences. If already in progress, returns immediately. Otherwise, sets the tracing flag, calls _EmergencyRetract() via w.pcall() for error protection, clears the flag, and propagates the result. The inner _EmergencyRetract() stops all instances, moves to retract position, triggers part kicker retract, runs part loader retract, optionally stops all wheels, and runs pre/post emergency retract hooks.
| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 EnableFinal | ( | ) |
Perform post-enable initialization for the Centerless Grinder.
Reads the "HydraulicsStartWithMachineEnable" OEM parameter. If set to "Yes", automatically starts the hydraulics system (without requiring operator confirmation) by calling StartHydraulics(false). Called when the machine is enabled.

Reads the measured X and Z values from the MeasuredXDRO and MeasuredZDRO screen objects, and the taught machine positions from XTouchOffDRO and ZTouchOffDRO. Validates that at least one touch-off position has been taught. Computes new X tool offset accounting for diameter mode and tool slide direction, and new Z tool offset from the Z work offset. Writes the computed offsets to the tool table via mc.mcToolSetData() (clearing wear offsets), then activates the tool with an MDI T command. Resets the touch-off DRO values to zero after completion.
| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 GetAxisLetterName | ( | AxisID | ) |
Get a multi-line display label for an axis based on the selected instance and axis ID.

| inst | ) |
Get a short display name for an axis based on the selected instance and axis ID.
Returns a compact string identifying the axis for use in DRO labels and axis position groups.

If zero, reads the last stored program number from the machine profile and writes it to #518 (enabling the custom profile). Updates the grind wheel custom dress profile UI via UpdateGWCustomDressProfile() afterwards.
| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 LayoutObjects hidden | ( | value | ) |
Set the hidden state of a named row in the LayoutObjects grid.

| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 InitializeOperatorPanels | ( | ) |
Configure operator panel button mappings specific to the Centerless Grinder.
Iterates through all configured operator panels and remaps spindle button commands for panels with part number "X15-14-21". On matching panels, the spindle forward button is mapped to "Grind Wheel Toggle", the spindle stop button is mapped to "Grind Wheel Off", and the spindle reverse command is cleared. This customizes the operator panel to control the grind wheel instead of the standard spindle.
| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 InitializeRegulatingDress | ( | ) |
Initialize and layout the Regulating Wheel dressing controls panel.

Initialize the Thru-Feed part counter signal handler and persistent I/O points.
If the Thru-Feed part counter is disabled (IsThruFeedPartCounterEnabled() returns false), removes the "Grinding Wheel Dress Required" and "Regulating Wheel Dress Required" I/O points and returns early. Otherwise, creates both I/O points as permanent inputs, then looks up the ThruFeedPartCounterInput OEM parameter signal ID. If the signal is mapped and valid, registers a signal library handler that calls UpdateThruFeedPartCounter() on each falling edge (rising edge sets THRU_FEED_PART_COUNTER_STATE, falling edge triggers the count and clears it).
| GrinderCenterlessScreenV02 InitializeTolerances | ( | ) |
Initialize all position tolerance values from imperial defaults converted to current units.
Converts and stores the following tolerance values using w.ConvertFromImperialToCurrentUnits():
