X6 Post - change decimal to trailing zeros

[MIKO ELLO]

Can anyone tell me how I can change my dwell that posts out like this P.5 to P500?

 

I am working in the post right now and I cannot find and fs2 statements that match what I need?

 

My machine will either accept x.5 or p500 - I would like to know what everyone is using and how I change my post.

I am assuming its FS4

use the post debugger to find out what variable is outputting the dwell value, then reformat it.

Or at the top of the toolchange postblock do this... (you first need the variable name for dwell.

dwell = dwell * 1000

 

I have this in the mpmaster....

 

 

fmt  P  11  dwell$      #Dwell

I agree that the formula is the appropriate way to achieve the desired output, but it is way better to create another variable to hold the value. Something like 'TempDwell' will be recognizable, but still retain the original dwell value. Once you modify a CAD generated variable, there is no way to undo it.

Actually fs2 4 worked out perfectly.Thanks

[cncDean0017]

this is what I used:

 

fs2 11 4 0 4 0t #Integer, force four trailing

 

to get this:

 

G99 G82 Z-.25 R.1 P500 F50.
