Sub Program

[dan m]

we have a toshiba that calls up a sub program using G72 $???? I know how to change the post to use a G72 But how do I change from using a P to a $ ?

Change;

code:

---

fmt  P  7   sub_prg_call#Program number

---

to;

code:

---

fmt  "$"  7   sub_prg_call#Program number

---

tim this is what i currently have.

 

#Move comment (pound) to output colon with program numbers

fmt O 7 progno #Program number

#fmt ":" 7 progno #Program number

fmt O 7 main_prg_no #Program number

#fmt ":" 7 main_prg_no #Program number

fmt O 7 sub_prg_no #Program number

#fmt ":" 7 sub_prg_no #Program number

Try this (from generic fanuc 3x mill);

 

look for;

code:

---

#Address string definitions

strm "M"

strn "N"

stro "O"

strp "P" #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

srad "R"

srminus "R-"

sblank

---

and change;

code:

---

strp        "$"

---

I use MPmaster so this is a first for me. I don't know if it will work but it looks like it should.

Hey guys.. what language is that? i mean the one thats in the .PST file i'd love to learn how to edit at least the basic stuff but am totally clueless and in the books section of this website i found nothing to train me or teach me it either... whats the way?

Its called the MP language. I think I remember reading that it was originaly based on the C computer language.

 

You can ask your reseller for a copy of the v9 post reference. That along with the post info in your MCX documentation folder is what is available AFAIK. You can also learn alot by studying the post mods discussed on the forum.
