VC Variable Manager

Maps every VC variable your programs use against what is live on the control, before a macro overwrites one.

VC Variable Manager — Live Values

Point it at your MD1 drive and it scans every program to map which VC variables your code uses, reads every live-registered variable off the machine, and heatmaps both. Switch between values, program usage, or a combined view to see at a glance what's still free — and where to be careful, since a running program could write to an address on the fly.

The Live VC Heatmap

Every VC address (VC[0]–VC[199]+) color-coded by value and category. Hover any cell for its live value, zone — Renishaw, calibration, inspection — read/write status, and the exact code lines that reference it. Summary bar tallies zeros, non-zeros, sentinels, calibration, and free addresses at a glance.

Values, Programs & Combined

Toggle between live values and program usage — see at a glance which addresses your code leans on hardest and which are untouched.

VC Variable Manager Program Scanner listing every VC address used across 181 scanned files with read/write usage, reference counts, files, and sample code

Program Scanner

Scan your whole program folder — 181 files, 12,429 references — for a table of every VC address used: how (read/write), how many times, in which files, with sample code.

VC Variable Manager Compare Files view diffing two VCDUMP files, listing every address whose value differs with value A, value B, delta, status, and zone

Compare Two Dumps

Diff two VCDUMP files or machine states side by side — every address whose value differs, with the delta and its zone — so you can see exactly what changed between machines or over time.
