7.6 Diverse Functions
Formatted output of texts and Q parameter values
The path for storing the texts and Q parameter values is entered in the menu option PRINT or PRINT TEST (see
“Setting the Data Interface”, page 10-5).
The function D16: F-PRINT transfers texts and Q parameter values in a
selectable format through the data interface, for example to a printer.
When you store the values in the TNC memory or transfer them to a PC,
the TNC stores the data in the file %D16RUN.A (output in program run
mode) or in the file %D16SIM.A (output in test run mode). You can define
the output format by programming a text file.
Example D16 P01 TNC:\MASK\MASK1.A
Example of a text file to define the output format:
“TEST RECORD BUCKET WHEEL GRAVITY CENTER“;
“----------------------------------------------------------------------------------“;
“NO. OF MEASURED VALUES : = 1“;
“*******************************************“;
“X1 = %4.3LF“, Q31;
“Y1 = %4.3LF“, Q32;
“Z1 = %2LF“, Q33;
“*******************************************“;
Associated file %D16SIM.A
TEST RECORD BUCKET WHEEL GRAVITY CENTER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO. OF MEASURED VALUES : = 1
********************************************
X1 = 149.360
Y1 = 25.509
Z1 = 37
********************************************
