Incremental depth warning sign

[PcRobotic]

Good morning everyone,
   I am trying to write a warning message if I choose DEPTH as INCREMENTAL because sometimes I make mistake instead of ABSOLUTE.  I wrote a logic warning for it and it didn't work well.  Would you guys tell me what I've done wrong?

 

PS: I did check on the parameter PDF file and it is 15103 but not sure why didn't work.

Thank you.

if IncAbsOperationDepth = 1 & opcode$ <2, [if mprint(sIncAbsOperationDepth, 2) = 2, exitpost$]

 

 

opcode$ <2

Your 'opcode$ is equal to 1 or 2 , when processing a contour. ( 1 = 2D Contour, 2 = 3D Contour)

Thank you Colin.  How do I excluded all 3D toolpaths, should I use OPCODE or OPID?

 

Thank you for your help.

The variable 'op_id$', will only contain a unique Integer value, which acts as a 'creation ID', but there is no guarantee the value is in sequential numeric order. The values get jumbled every copy/paste.

I would use 'opcode$', or 'tool_op$', if you want to allow or disallow Toolpath types.

      if tool_op$ = 3 |
         tool_op$ = 5 |
         tool_op$ = 37 |
         tool_op$ = 201,
           [
           # do something]
           ]
         else,
          [
          # do something else
          ]

If you want more "types", just add a condition 'tool_op$ = xxx |' (notice the pipe symbol is the OR condition.

You can also set up a multi-check as shown below.

is_drilling_op =
      (
      tool_op$ = 2 |
      tool_op$ = 475 |
      tool_op$ = 37 |
      tool_op$ = 104 |
      tool_op$ = 136 |
      tool_op$ = 306
      )

is_drilling_op will be set to yes$(1) if a condition in the rounded brackets is true.

For this to work, newglobal$ must be set to 1.

Thank you Colin, big help from you.

Thank you Jeff, great input for me to learn.
