FN 16: F-PRINT: Formatted output of text and
Q parameter values
The function FN 16: 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: %2d-%2d-%4d“,DAY,MONTH,YEAR4;
“TIME: %2d:%2d:%2d“,HOUR,MIN,SEC;
“NO. OF MEASURED VALUES: = 1“;
“X1 = %9.3LF“, Q31;
“Y1 = %9.3LF“, Q32;
“Z1 = %9.3LF“, Q33;
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 712.
With FN 16, 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.
