Specifying the path in the FN 16 function
If you enter only the file name as the path for the log file, the control
saves the log file in the directory in which the NC program with the
FN 16 function is located.
Program relative paths as an alternative to complete paths:
Starting from the folder of the calling file one folder level down FN
16: F-PRINT MASKE\MASKE1.A/ PROT\PROT1.TXT
Starting from the folder of the calling file one folder level up
and in another folder FN 16: F-PRINT ..\MASKE\MASKE1.A/ ..
\PROT1.TXT
Use the SYNTAX soft key to place paths within quotation marks. The
quotation marks define the beginning and the end of the path. This
enables the control to identify any special characters as a part of the
path.
Further information: "File names", Page 106
If the complete path is enclosed in quotation marks, you can use
both \ and / to separate the folders and files.
Operating and programming notes:
If you define a path both in the machine parameters
and in the FN 16 function, the path in the FN 16
function has priority.
If you output the same file more than once in the
NC program, the control appends the current output to
the end of the contents of the output file.
In the FN 16 block, program the format file and the log
file, each with the extension for the file type.
The file name extension of the log file determines the
file type of the output (e.g., TXT, A, XLS, HTML).
Use FN 18 to retrieve information that is relevant
and interesting in log files, such as the number of the
touch-probe cycle last used.
