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:
"MEASURING LOG OF 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;
When you create a text file, use the following formatting functions:
The following functions allow you to include the following additional
information in the protocol log file:
