MPLMaster canned cycle question

[jeff]

Where do I change the output of the canned cycles in order to have no decimal in the U,W, and D?

Jeff,

Those edits are in the formatting section of the post, not difficult but a bit convoluted,....

Are you only going to use G73 with this post, do you need to use this post for another machine?

 

These are the variables that control the address for the G73 canned output,....

 

fmt "U" 2 depthcc

fmt "R" 2 clearcc

fmt "U" 2 xstckcc

fmt "W" 2 zstckcc

 

The "2" in the sequence is what controls the output format,....

 

fs2 1 0.7 0.6 #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize

fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place <<<< this here is setting the decimal

fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place

 

fs2 16 0 4 0 3t #No decimal, absolute, 4 trailing <<<< to get no decimal output you need a format statement more like this

 

You notice that the depth is being set to "U" in the address variables,....

Do a search for "depthcc" and you will find that it is being reset by "strd",....

 

#Lathe canned cycle old style conversion

result = nwadrs (strd, depthcc)

Thanks!

I'll give it a shot

Jeff one of the things I have done in the past is creating new fs statements as needed or converting an unused one for the output required.

Also take note of the output for the G73 variables,.... the MplMaster uses a buffer table for the output "breaking" the buffer table is easier than some may think.

 

If this post is specific to one machine I would probably change the address in the format variable then "pound out" # the strd line that changes the address.

 

side note: didn't you have a dude dancing in his fruit of looms for your avatar?

Ok, if I change it to 0 4 0 3t,my whole program doesn't have a decimal.

 

Not sure what you mean by the (strd,depthcc). I see it in my post a few times, I'll mess with it and see if I can figure out how that triggers stuff.

Yes, I did, I changed it because Jammer kept getting too excited

This post is specific to 2 machines (identical controls).

[jeff]

ok, I think I got it.

Changed the depthcc, xstckcc,and zstckcc to 16 and it looks good.

Thanks again!

 

 

fmt U 16 depthcc #was 2

fmt R 2 clearcc

fmt U 16 xstckcc #was 2

fmt W 16 zstckcc #was 2

fmt "U" 2 depthcc <<<< this format sets the address to "U" for the depthcc output

 

#Lathe canned cycle old style conversion

result = nwadrs (strd, depthcc) <<<< this changes that "U" address to "D" when you use the "old style" G73 canned in the post
