- 65 -
Select a fixed form sentence group, using the ← and → cursor keys,
and then select a fixed form sentence from the fixed form sentence
group, using the ↑ and ↓ cursor keys.
Pressing [INSERT] inserts the selected fixed form sentence to the
place that follows immediately the cursor position in the program.
Using this function makes it easy to enter machining program patterns
(fixed form sentences) that may be used frequently.
As the following example, you can register the fixed form sentence, in
which undefined data is replaced to the special character such as “?”.
When the fixed form sentence, in which this special character is
included, is inserted to the part program, warning to urge an operator
to enter the defined data.
Entering the data that is used actually and pressing ALTER can make
the correct part program.
This special character is displayed in red in the program window.
This special character and displaying color can be modified by setting
corresponding parameters.
Set ASCII code in decimal value of the special character to the
parameter No.14860. If 0 is set to this parameter, “?” is used as the
special character.
Set the color code of the displaying color to the parameter No.14480
in form of “AABBCC”. AA is red color value, BB is green color value
and CC is blue color value. If 0 is set to this parameter, the character is
displayed in red.
NOTE
1 In many cases, fixed form sentences in the fixed
form sentence menu are set up to a machine tool
by the machine tool builder. So, the fixed form
sentence menu varies from one machine tool to
another.
Operators can make changes and additions to the
menu. For details, see the descriptions about
[SETING].
2 Start and end command fixed form sentences can
be called from the fixed form sentence group
separately, using, respectively, [START] and
[END].
