Numbering sub programs with the T Number


Recommended Posts

I got the sub programming to spit out the number I wanted with a subnumber = t$ * 10 + 2000. Everything works fine until you call up the tool again and it spits out the same subnumber. I am trying to figure out a way to initialize a counter for every tool that only ticks if that tool has been called up before. I am going to sleep on it but probably wont come up with it by tomorrow. Any ideas would be appriciated.

Here's something I do;

seq_tool_n     : 200   # Sequence number for segment 2 calls <<< initialize new variable

fmt  N   4   seq_tool_n     #sequence number for segment 2 calls <<< format new variable


      if stagetool >= zero,
        [
        seq_tool_n = seq_tool_n + 1 #<<<<<<<<<<<<<< calculate variable as needed
       seq_tool_n, "G91 G30 X0 Y0 Z0", e$  #<<<<<<<<<<<<<< use calculated variable
