Hi,

I want my postprosessor to output Z-stock data in my NC-code

ZStockDelta# does that, but comes with six decimals. How can i specify that I want just 1 decimal.

Example:

Output in NCfile is: 60.000000
Want it to be: 60.0

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

Use the Format command:
FORMAT(ZStockDelta#,12) then make sure you have
#12 = '####.0;0.' in the format definitions, let me know if that
formats the way you need it

Thank you very much for the replay.

I will test that out, but what does #12 mean?

my code looks like this now:

'( ------NULLPUNKT------ )' EOL {Makro for  sette nullpunkt til Okuma genos L200E-M}
'N000 EMNE=' ZStockDelta# ' ' 'BAKE=53.0' EOL
'N000 CALL ONUL' EOL
'(---)' EOL

Should I rewrite it like this then:?


#12 = '####.0;0.'
FORMAT(ZStockDelta#,12)

'( ------NULLPUNKT------ )' EOL {Makro for  sette nullpunkt til Okuma genos L200E-M}
'N000 EMNE=' ZStockDelta# ' ' 'BAKE=53.0' EOL
'N000 CALL ONUL' EOL
'(---)' EOL

Use the Format command:
FORMAT(ZStockDelta#,12) then make sure you have
#12 = '####.0;0.' in the format definitions, let me know if that
formats the way you need it

It worked out!

Thank you.

But I had to change from 12 to 1, because the program multiplied the value by 2.

Which format command do use to get no decimals
On this format: 60

The Format command only formats and doesn't change the the value. at the beginning of the code
you will see a list of format definitions that are numbered:
#1 = '#.00'
#2 = '####0.0##'
#3 = '*####0.0##'
#4 = '###0.0###'
#5 = '#######0'
#6 = '###0.0'
#7 = '##0.0#'
#8 = '###0.0########'

Place the format definition at the bottom of that list and give it the next available number, in the example list
above it would be #9 = '####.0;0.'
then when you want to use the FORMAT command it would be FORMAT(ZStockDelta#,9)
you can use definition #5 in the list above for no decimal.
