Flexible NC programming
1.9 String operations
Note
The table indicates that the NC data types AXIS and FRAME cannot be directly used in the
SPRINT function. However it is possible:
• to convert the AXIS data type into a string using the AXSTRING function – which can then
be processed with SPRINT.
• to read the individual values of the FRAME data type per frame component access. As a
consequence, a REAL data type is obtained, which can be processed with SPRINT.
