Put the comment in Brackets()

The answer is, yes.
Not all controls are the same, when it comes to adding comments.
I run Siemens control which is " ; ", I think Mach3 is " ( ) ".
Siemens Control Example:
X15.273 Y17.844 ; This is a comment

Mach3 Control Example:
X15.273 Y17.844 ( This is a comment )
What Control are you working with?
.
all you should have to do on a fanuc control is just put the text in brackets ()unless the its the O series(at least with the one i work with) which you have to add it to the program on a computer and send it in
The open parenthesis '(' means control out and the close parenthesis ')' means control in. So in theory you can stick the comment in between word address codes. But I recommend that you place the comments at the end of the block or in a block by itself. [Fadals only need the '(' open parenthesis and must be at the end of the block] As a rule you must use both open and close in the block. [The Mark Century 2000, used the open and closed for parametric programming, and the code '(MSG,' for messages.]
