FN16: F-PRINT: Formatted output of texts or Q
parameter values

The function FN16: 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:

“TEST RECORD IMPELLER CENTER OF GRAVITY”;

“DATE: %02.2d-%02.2d-%4d“,DAY,MONTH,YEAR4;

“TIME: %2d:%02.2d:%02.2d“,HOUR,MIN,SEC;“

“————————————————————————“

“NO. OF MEASURED VALUES : = 1”;

“*******************************************“;#

“X1 = %5.3LF”, Q31;

“Y1 = %5.3LF”, Q32;

“Z1 = %5.3LF”, Q33;

“******************************************“;

When you create a text file, use the following formatting functions:

Setting the data interface: In the menu option PRINT or
PRINT-TEST, you must enter the path for storing the text
file. See “Assign,” page 447.
