Modifying the Q Parameter of the G83 Canned Cycle - Generic Fanuc 4X - Lathe 2020

[mayu]

Attached is a Z2G with a source file that uses the 'Generic Fanuc 4X Lathe' 2020 post.

It rough drills the center ID with a center-cutting end mill using a live tooling head and a G83 canned cycle.

This particular machine does not take decimal points in the Q parameter with the G83 command - with the other parameters it's okay.

Desired format example:

G83 Z-1.0 R.1 Q1000 F6.0

How can I achieve the format above?

Use the (newfs) and select the format statements you want from the list in the post or make one. 

 Assigns the format statement n to variable x, replacing the existing assignment. Returns 1 if successful.

return = newfs(n, x)

Example: This is changing it to (fs2 16 ) which should be no decimal, absolute, 4 trailing in your post

result = newfs(16, peck1$)
pcan1, pbld, n$, *sg74, pfzout, *peck1$, pffr, strcantext, e$

Thanks and sorry for the late reply.

I haven't made it work yet.

I'll update the post when it's working.
