HEIDENHAIN TNC 426 B, TNC 430 263
FN16: F-PRINT
Formatted output of text and Q parameter values
Setting the data interface: In the menu option PRINT or
PRINT-TEST, you must enter the path for storing the text
file. See „12 MOD Functions, Setting the Data Interface“.
The function FN16: 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, and define the output format and Q
parameters in this file.
Example of a text file to define the output format:
“TEST RECORD IMPELLER CENTER OF GRAVITY”;
“————————————————————————“;
“NO. OF MEASURED VALUES : = 1”;
“*******************************************”;
“X1 = %5.3LF“, Q31;
“Y1 = %5.3LF“, Q32;
“Z1 = %5.3LF“, Q33;
“******************************************“;
When you create a text file, use the following formatting functions:
Special character Function
“ ............“ Define output format for texts and variables
between the quotation marks
%5.3LF Define format for Q parameter:
(long, floating):5 places before and 4 places
behind the decimal point
%S Format for text variable
, Separator between output format and
parameter
; End of block character
