FN16: F-PRINT – Formatted output of text and Q
parameter values
With FN16: F-PRINT, you can also output to the
screen any messages from the NC program. Such
messages are displayed by the TNC in a pop-up
window.
The function FN16: F-PRINT transfers Q parameter values and
texts in a selectable format. If you send the values, the TNC
saves the data in the file that you defined in the FN16 block. The
maximum size of the output file is 20 kilobytes.
To be able to use the function FN16: F-PRINT, first program a text
file that defines the output format.
