Reporting MISC Integers

[John Fredrickson]

We use Misc integers for tool breakage detect and tool cleaning on a Mori NHX6300. These are set different ways depending on the tool being used. 

 

Does anyone know a way of reporting the misc integer settings per operation? Using X+ or Active Reports??

I've been trying to figure that out.  I've spoken to Günther about that.  I haven't pestered him in a few months.  Maybe you should hit him up about it.

I do have a buffer I've got to output the block number and a given misc real.  No one ever sees the output but me, I use it to check a W position on a gantry machine for which I control W with misc real.

It is possible to build this in to an active report, but you would have to have a good understanding of the XML and the hierarchy.

This is from "the secret handshake" capture all of the XML tags.  (thanks Ruth)  More info is in the ActiveReports Tips and Tricks document available at Mastercam.com.  

Jim Varco's reports can output that information.

Varco Reports is highly recommended and very user customizable.  You can have different report templates predefined (one for the programmer, one for the operator, one for the tool setter...) and then select which report you want to use on the fly.

X+ is also a great tool.    (Thanks Gunther)

Jim supports them also in Varco Reports.

Speaking of...I asked him for an English trans of the X+ how to file....do you or anyone happen to have that for reference? thanks
