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;

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.
