tool table output

[Smrk]

I tried to modify my post to generate "tool manufacturer code" and "shoulder lenght" in tool table.

so i defined variable "var1" to store shoulder lenght - var1 : 0

and string "smanufcode" to store code - smanufcode : ""

 

also defined format of var1 - fmt "l3=" 4 var1

 

and add condition to pparameter$ section

 

if prmcode$ = 20007, var1 = rparsngl(sparameter$,4)

if prmcode$ = 20002, smanufcode = sparameter$

 

and calling var1 and smanufcode to pwrtt$ (tooltable output) - original from reseller, only added *tcr$ in the past.

 

if tdef_table, # Put all the TOOL DEF blocks at the top of the program?

[

if t$ > 0 & gcode$ <> 1003, #If a "real" toolchange

"; ", *stooldef, *t$, *tlrad$, *tcr$, *var1, "Code:"*smanufcode, e$

]

 

But all tools have parameters from first one:

 

; T. 20 R:5.00 Cor.rad.:0.50 l3=24 Code: A123B

; T. 23 R:0.50 Cor.rad.:0.10 l3=24 Code: A123B

; T. 30 R:0.30 Cor.rad.:0.30 l3=24 Code: A123B

 

It looks like i need some condition in pparameter$ section to jump to next tool and re read variables. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for help.

problem solved

as i read through PM pdfs i found chapter "Reading parameters during the NCI pre-read routine"

I dont have pwrttparam$ section in my pst file. So i added it, put "prmcode$" parameters in it and it works now.
