Engraving the counter reading

You can engrave the current counter reading found in the MOD
menu with Cycle 225.
For this purpose program Cycle 225 as usual and enter e.g. the
following for the text to be engraved: %count2
The number after %count specifies how many positions the TNC
engraves. A maximum of nine positions are possible.
Example: If you program %count9 in the cycle with a momentary
counter reading of 3, the TNC engraves: 000000003
In Test Run operating mode the momentary counter reading
is always simulated with the number 0, independent of the
counter reading actually entered in the MOD menu.
The TNC does not consider the active counter reading in Test
Run operating mode. The reading cannot be switched higher
with a repeated test of the NC program and cannot be output
with Cycle 225. This is why a counter reading of zero is always
simulated in Test Run operating mode.
In Program Run, Full Sequence and Program Run, Single
Block operating modes the active counter reading is taken
into consideration.
If you switch over the screen layout in these operating
modes, e.g. to the PROGRAM + GRAPHICS view, the
currently engraved counter reading is shown in the motion
simulation
