Reading out machine parameters

Use the CFGREAD function to read out TNC machine parameters as

numerical values or as strings. The read values are always output in

metric units.

In order to read out a machine parameter, you must use the TNC's

configuration editor to determine the parameter name, parameter

object, and, if they have been assigned, the group name and index:

Group name of the

machine parameter (if

Parameter object (name

begins with "Cfg...")

Name of the machine

List index of a machine

parameter (if available)

If you are in the configuration editor for the user

parameters, you can change the display of the

existing parameters. In the default setting, the

parameters are displayed with short, explanatory

texts. To display the actual system names of the

parameters, press the key for the screen layout key

and then the SHOW SYSTEM NAME soft key. Follow

the same procedure to return to the standard display.

Each time you want to interrogate a machine parameter with the

CFGREAD function, you must first define a QS parameter with

attribute, entity and key.

The following parameters are read in the CFGREAD function's

KEY_QS: Group name (key) of the machine parameter

TAG_QS: Object name (entity) of the machine parameter

ATR_QS: Name (attribute) of the machine parameter

IDX: Index of the machine parameter
