Paramacro Parameters
Chapter 21
21-6
This feature lets you define your own G-codes to be used in a part
program. When executed, these G-codes call a specific paramacro
program that you have previously written and stored in control memory.
There are two types of AMP-defined G-codes: Type I and Type II. These
two types of G-codes are functionally identical. The only differences are:
Type I -- This type of AMP-defined G-code is restricted to calling
specific program numbers ranging from 9010 through 9019. G-code
numbers defined here to call a macro program must be integers; no
decimal points are allowed in the G-code.
Type II -- This type of AMP-defined G-code allows selectable program
numbers ranging from 1 through 8999. G-code numbers defined here to
call a macro program can optionally contain a decimal point (for
example, G120.1).
When creating a G-code to call a paramacro program, you must define:
