Fn 16: F-Print: Formatted Output Of Text And Q-Parameter Values - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 - CONVERSATIONAL PROGRAMMING User Manual

FN 16: F-PRINT: Formatted output of text and
Q-parameter values
Setting the data interface: In the menu option PRINT or
PRINT-TEST, you must enter the path for storing the text
file. See "Assignment" on page 624.
With FN 16, 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 FN 16: F-PRINT transfers Q parameter values and texts
in a selectable format through the data interface, for example to a
printer. If you save the values internally or send them to a computer,
the TNC saves the data in the file that you defined in the FN 16 block.
To output the formatted texts and Q parameter values, create a text
file with the TNC's text editor. In this file you then define the output
format and Q parameters you want to output.
Example of a text file to define the output format:
"MEASURING LOG OF IMPELLER CENTER OF GRAVITY";
"DATE: %2d-%2d-%4d",DAY,MONTH,YEAR4;
"TIME: %2d:%2d:%2d",HOUR,MIN,SEC;"
"NO. OF MEASURED VALUES : = 1";
"X1 = %9.3LF", Q31;
"Y1 = %9.3LF", Q32;
"Z1 = %9.3LF", Q33;
When you create a text file, use the following formatting functions:
Special
Function
characters
"..........." Define output format for texts and variables
between the quotation marks
%9.3LF Define format for Q parameter:
9 total characters (incl. decimal point), of which
3 are after the decimal, Long, Floating (decimal
number)
%S Format for text variable
, Separation character between output format
and parameter
; End of block character
