Wear/control/computer compensation flag for 2D contour toolpath

[David Colin]

Hi all,

 

Anyone knows if there is a way to read compensation type (wear/control/computer/...)in 2D contour toolpath in .pst file?

thanks

From X4 Mpmaster:

 

comp_type : 0 #Cutter compensation type - 0=computer, 1=control, 2=wear, 3=reverse wear, 4=off

So it's prmcode$=1346 (need to enable op file, question 1502)

 

Thanks a lot

15346 not 1346

 

I'll assume that was a type-o.

 

Good luck & happy coding.

 

code:

---

if prmcode$ = 15346, comp_type = rpar(sparameter$,1)

---

Here's a way I use to figure out parameters sometimes. A little Zen, but it works if you know how to use this method.

 

pparameter$ # Run parameter table

 

#Brute force parameter read ---------------------

 

~prmcode$, " = ", sparameter$, e$

 

#Brute force parameter read ---------------------

Yep i made a mistake by rewriting... It works great thanks for the sparamete$ tip
