Can someone show me how to put "PERIOD" in the digits. cause the mori seiki doesnt have a period like any other post. it very hard read program without the period. Look at the below this what I mean

 

Mori Seiki Post : MPLTL3YC

G0X-55614Z-49243

Z2000

 

MPLFAN Post

G0X-5.5614Z-4.9243

Z.2

 

I want to put the period like MPLFAN post.

 

Thank in advance

Hey bud!

 

Technically speaking it is a decimap point you want not a period but that is beside the point.

 

You'll need to look in the post and look for this;

 

fmt N 4 n #Sequence number

fmt X 2 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output

fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output

fmt U 3 xinc #X position output

fmt V 3 yinc #Y position output

fmt W 3 zinc #Z position output

fmt 11 cabs #C axis position

fmt 14 cinc #C axis position

fmt I 3 iout #Arc center description in X

fmt J 3 jout #Arc center description in Y

fmt K 3 kout #Arc center description in Z

fmt R 2 arcrad #Arc Radius

fmt F 12 feed #Feedrate

fmt P 11 dwell #Dwell

fmt C 2 crad #C axis start radius

 

switch them to this;

 

fmt N 4 n #Sequence number

fmt X 2 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output

fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output

fmt U 3 xinc #X position output

fmt V 3 yinc #Y position output

fmt W 3 zinc #Z position output

fmt C 11 cabs #C axis position

fmt H 14 cinc #C axis position

fmt B 4 indx_out #Index position

fmt I 3 iout #Arc center description in X

fmt J 3 jout #Arc center description in Y

fmt K 3 kout #Arc center description in Z

fmt R 2 arcrad #Arc Radius

fmt F 18 feed #Feedrate

fmt P 11 dwell #Dwell

fmt M 5 cantext #Default cantext

fmt C 2 crad #C axis start radius, G107

fmt H 2 tlrad #C axis cancel, G112, currently using C position

 

fmt is the nway the number is represented.

 

Hope that helps

I think the previous method will not work in your case. Most likely you will get an error indx_out not defined or whatever. You want to search in the post for the format statments FS. The xabs for instance uses format statment 2 look for FS 2 change the coresponding FS to reflect the desired output.

 

fs 2 0.4 would give you the Decimal note the decimal in the format statment

Thanks Allan problem solved.

DOH! Decimal. I also forget to strip out the fs's that were not relavent for his post. Sorry.
