canned text question

[5 AX]

I would like to have an M19 P0.0 output with the operation. It seems the canned text option would be the easiest way. I have tried manipulating the output of the M7 because I will not use it but I am not having any luck. Is there an easy way to change one of the output comments?

Canned text is a good way to do this, but if the output is always the same "M19 P0.0", the easiest way to output this is by using the Miscellanous Integers.

 

Do a search on the forum, if you can't find something that helps, post back and we'll try to help you get it figured out.

 

Thanks,

I use the cantext to set a variable then I can control where I would like the "cantext" input into the code. However you will run into some trouble if the "cantext" within the NCI code has not been read at the time you would like it to output. But I have had some sucees by writeing and if statement looking at the "cantext" ie.

if cantext$ = 18, (then do this)

The Integer worked great. Thanks! Is there a way I can add some description like the first three show? Like 1=P0., 2=P180. ??

Never mind, found it in control definition.
