FN16: F-PRINT – Formatted output of text and Q
parameter values
With FN16: F-PRINT, 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 FN16: F-PRINT transfers Q parameter values and
texts in a selectable format. If you send the values, the TNC
saves the data in the file that you defined in the
FN16 block. The
maximum size of the output file is 20 kilobytes.
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";
"DATUM: %02d.%02d.%04d",DAY,MONTH,YEAR4;
"TIME: %02d:%02d:%02d",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
characters Function
"..........." Define output format for texts and variables
between the quotation marks
%9.3LF Define the format for Q parameters: 9 total
characters (incl. decimal point), of which 3
are after the decimal, Long, Floating (decimal
number)
%S Format for text variable
%d Format for integer
, Separation character between output format
and parameter
; End of block character
\n Line break
