    Help with Macro for Timed Cycle start

    I have a Nakamura AS200LMYS with a Fanuc 0i-TF Control.
    Very new to writing Macros
    I want to be able to put a Macro together that I can set a start time for based on the machine clock so that the warm up program will automatically start at the given time. This way the machine will be ready to go for the operator when he arrives.
    Has anyone done this before?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You will have to program a continuous loop so the machine constantly check the time.
    Lets try 6:25:00am

    %
    O1000(WARM UP TIME)
    N1000(JUMP BACK HERE)
    IF [#3012 LT 062500] GOTO1000
    BLAH
    BLAH
    M30
    %

    #3012 IS THE SYSTEM TIMER FOR THE CLOCK.
    No, I have never done this. I like the idea though.
