If, then, else logic

[Zoober]

I've been editing our posts - mostly 4 and 5 axis - and I have been pretty successfull so far, but now I need to get into some logic checking.

I've looked into the post parameter pdf and the forums, but I can't find a ref for the if,then, else,and,or,not,null,while,wend,blah,yada, etc... logic.

Thru trial and error (and looking at existing posts)I have figured & means AND, and some other stuff, but it's taking up time 'cyfering. Is there any code ref for the logic symbols?? Or at least is it C based, VB based, or ??

Can one of you Gurus point me in the right direction please.

All help is appreciated. I already learned a lot from this place about MC posts, and they seem to be pretty configuable, but we have some GE (2000, not Fanuc) and Siemens controls that need to do some goofy stuff.

You probably need a Post Processor Reference guide (cd or manual. You can get one from your reseller.

Here's a sample of a nested IF/ELSE statement.

 

code:

---

           if opcountpg = ops_per_pg & page_breaks,

[

#Page break

"<br style=", 34, "page-break-before:always;", 34, ">", e

if list_type = 0, "<p><b><font SIZE=+1>OPERATION LIST - CONTINUED...</font></b></p>", e

else, "<p><b><font SIZE=+1>TOOL LIST - CONTINUED...</font></b></p>", e

opcountpg = 0

]

HTH.

Zoober,

The "pipe" symbol "|", the shifted backslash above the ENTER key is the symbol for a logical "or"

Here's another good example.

 

code:

---

pwcs       # G54+ coordinate setting at toolchange

if wcstype < two, "G92"

if wcstype = two | wcstype > three,

[

if workofs < 0, workofs = 0

if workofs < 6,

[

g_wcs = workofs + 54

*g_wcs

]

else,

[

p_wcs = workofs - five

"G54.1", *p_wcs

]

!workofs

]

if wcstype = three, "-"

Thanks guys.

Rob, I kinda thought the pipe was "or", but by the code I was looking at, it coulda been "or" or a range.

That helps.

Rekd, Good choice of code clip. I am checking for fixture offsets g54-59, g505-600, etc... A little different than g54 p..

Again, thanks!

Here's a good example of using WHILE

 

code:

---

	while msg<5,

[

result = updstr (smsg)

smsg = wbuf(1, wc1)

msg=msg+1

]
