How does your G-code turn on/Off the Torch. Does it use M3/M5.?
If so then just edit the M3/M5 macros so they turn output on/off.
In the M3 enter this at point want to come on:
ActivateSignal(Output 2) ...................change number to suit your output.
In M5 put this when want to go off:
Sleep 3000 ...................................(Pause before Output OFF Change number to suit delay in Milli/Secs.)
DeActivateSignal(Output 2) .................(change number to suit your output.)
Or if you want can just use the coolant codes and enter enter M7 or M8 in your code at the point want on Output on and setup coolant the Outputs in spindle setup to Output# you used.
Then in code to turn off enter:
G4 P3 (change number for pause time in secs)
