Misc. Integer Help

[Veritasproject777]

Hi,

I am having issues with the use of a misc. integer in my post.

what I need to do is add a

N1590 #[600+#4120]=XXX (xxx = misc.integer 3 amount set in tool path)

N1600 M98P7000

at the end of the tool before the next tool.

I think I have almost got it but when i post is is out putting the integer amount set for the next tool not the current one. and it post no amount on the late tool ext:

N1590 #[600+#4120]= (Should be misc. integer amount set in tool path)

N1600 M98P7000

This is what I have done

 

sav_mi3 : 0

 

fmt "" 4 mi3$

 

In the pretract #End of tool path, toolchange i added

sav_mi3 = mi3$

if mi3$ >=1, ## Daniel

[

pbld, n$, "#[600+#4120]=",mi3$, e$ ## Daniel

pbld, n$, "M98P7000", e$ ## Daniel

]

 

Please help

Thank you,

In pretract, all of the active information is for the next toolpath. You should put sav_mi3 = mi3$ in psof, ptlchg, and ptlchg0. This will capture the value of mi3$ for each toolpath.

 

Then, change this:

 

if mi3$ >=1, ## Daniel

[

pbld, n$, "#[600+#4120]=",mi3$, e$ ## Daniel

 

To this:

 

if sav_mi3 >=1, ## Daniel

[

pbld, n$, "#[600+#4120]=", *sav_mi3, e$ ## Daniel

ok that work to get the right amount but now

it post

N490 #[600+#4120]= sav_mi3 5.

N500 M98P7000

how can I make it post out just the number?

[EX-wccprogrammer]

instead of:

 

sav_mi3 : 0

 

define like this:

 

fmt 4 sav_mi3 #Format sav_mi3 as an integer with no prefix

ok so it dose work sort of...

say I have three tool path with 3 different Tools

all with misc. integer set to 10

it will post :

N1590 #[600+#4120]=10

N1600 M98P7000

on the first tool and

on the next two

N1590 #[600+#4120]=

N1600 M98P7000

this only happens if the misc integer is the same amount as a tool before it.

But if the are set

T1 misc. integer 10

T2 misc. integer 5

T3 misc. integer 10

it post with no issuse

how do I fix this?

Thank you,

sorry i just saw that I left off the *

it is working now.

BTW what dose the * do?

[EX-wccprogrammer]

That character forces the output of variables. Without it, a variable will only output if the value has changed.

Also is you use the ! it will force it out if there is an update, but not if it is the same. I think that is the way it is used, but would have to look it up to be sure.
