D16 – Formatted output of text and Q parameter
values
With D16, 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.
The function D16 transfers Q parameter values and texts in a
selectable format. If you send the values, the TNC saves the data
in the file that you defined in the
D16 block. The maximum size of
the output file is 20 kilobytes.
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";
"DATUM: %02d.%02d.%04d",DAY,MONTH,YEAR4;
"TIME: %02d:%02d:%02d",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:
Special
characters Function
"..........."

between the quotation marks
%9.3LF
