Allowed engraving characters
The following special characters are allowed in addition to
lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numbers:
! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] _
The TNC uses the special characters
% and \
for special functions. These characters must be
indicated twice in the text to be engraved (e.g.
%%) if
you want to engrave them.
Characters that cannot be printed
Apart from text, you can also define certain non-printable
characters for formatting purposes. Enter the special character
\
before the non-printable characters.
The following formatting possibilities are available:
\n: Line break
\t: Horizontal tab (the tab width is permanently set to 8
characters)
\t: Vertical tab (the tab width is permanently set to one line)
Engraving system variables
In addition to the standard characters, you can engrave the
contents of certain system variables. Enter the special character
%
before the system variable.
You can also engrave the current date. Enter
%time
defines the date format whose meaning is identical to the
function
SYSSTR ID332 (see the User's Manual for Conversational
Programming, "Q parameter programming" chapter, "Copying
system data to a string" section).
Keep in mind that you must enter a leading 0 when
entering the date formats 1 to 9, e.g.
time08.
