Need to adjust M-codes for coolant

[ThisGuy]

Hi all,

I've just downloaded the GENERIC HEIDENHAIN_TNC530 3X MILL MM post and need to make some small adjustments for coolant ect.

Now I'm no expert but I figured this would be within my scope. Unfortunatly when i open the file in Code Expert i get mostly "ð?ëâ6?ü©ñÒMbP?ü©ñÒM"

Apparently im even less of an expert than i thought.. 

Anyway, could someone tell me how to open the files in a way that i can read an make adjusments?

If it is just coolant commands I would try altering those through Machine Definition(1)- General Machine Parameters(2) - Coolant commands(3)

Well yes that was my first thought but the only thing that it changes is the text in the box at the cooland tab in the operation.

When i post it doesnt change anything.

Besides that, i dont want it to write the "tool call 0" at the end or the / in front of the tool def.

 

also, i just want to look into the post and get a bit wiser

I just opened the Generic Heidehain_TNC530 3 axis post with Cimco and the Coolant codes are searchable. You are opening the .pst file?

When you downloaded the post did you get the matching Control Definition and Machine Definition? Just thinking why the changes @AHarrison1 suggested didn't work.

[ThisGuy]

Thnx for the reply but in the end I managed to figure it out. 

Except why the changes in machine definition didn't had any effect. I downloaded the post and dragged the file into mastercam to let it install. Don't know what I could have done differently.

 

 

Now the next questions. 

 

Is it possible to change the v style coolant to X style? 

 

And the advanced drilling cycle doesn't work properly. It doesn't write out M4 for CCW and dwell time is being put out as just DWELL.. that doesn't really give good results on the machine. 

Is this something that can be adjusted?
