Entering the engraving text

Only single-line entries without line break are permissible!

Variable texts

There are various ways of defining variable text:

● Date and time

If there is insufficient space in front of the decimal point to display the

number entered, it is automatically extended. If the specified number of

digits is larger than the number to be engraved, the output format is

automatically filled with the appropriate number of leading and trailing

Instead of the decimal point you can also use a blank.

Instead of _VAR_NUM you can use any other numerical variable (e.g.

Press the "Variable" and "Variable text" softkeys if you want to take the

text to be engraved (up to 200 characters) from a variable.

The format text <Text, _VAR_TEXT> is inserted and you return to the

engraving field with the softkey bar.

You can use any other text variable instead of _VAR_TEXT.

For example, you can engrave the time and date of manufacture on a workpiece. The

values for date and time are read from the NCK.

Using the workpiece variables you can assign a consecutive number to the workpieces.

You can define the format (number of digits, leading zeroes).

The place holder (#) is used to format the number of digits at which the workpiece counts

output will begin.

If you do not want to output a count of 1 for the first workpiece, you can specify an

additive value (e.g., <#,$AC_ACTUAL_PARTS + 100>). The workpiece count output is

then incremented by this value (e. g. 101, 102, 103,...).
