POST Editing

[jpal20002001]

I am a proficient programmer in vb and am currently looking into editing a master post for the CNC dept.

 

Can someone guide me to some resources about post editing, the formats, syntax and available resources within post?

 

I want the post to terminate when if a declaration is not met. In other words, if a specific requirement is not met, then i would want a message to alert the user the reason for termination and then not complete the post process. Is that possible?

You can get a Post Processor guide Cd from you reseller.

You could also try contacting your local reseller and ask for the "Mpmaster Quick Reference Guide, (Fundamental post processor customization techniques for 3 to 4 axis mill)" published by In-House Solutions.

 

It's a 170+ page reference book that uses mpmaster for its examples.

You can use some variation of the code below.

 

The variable exitpost$ will stop the posting process and mprint will display a dialoge box with the error message.

 

Note that mprint returns a value of 0 or 1, so it has to be written to an integer variable (result in the code below - result may already exist in your post processor).

#Integer initializations

my_var : 0

result : 0

 

#String initialization

serror : "ERROR - POST WILL EXIT"

 

pmy_postblock

if my_var <> 0,

[

result = mprint(serror)

exitpost$

]

Hope this helps.

Was wondering why it asked who I was before replying. Wasn't logged in, DOH.
