D16 – Formatted output of text and Q parameter
values
With D16, 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 D16 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 D16 block. The maximum size of
the output file is 20 kilobytes.
To be able to use the function D16, first program a text file that
defines the output format.
