Hi

I made a small macro that I will use to probe and set up parts on my machine using a 3d probe.
I jog the machine to different positions around my parts and run this macro and have it output the current tip position. In the macro below I have all this set and it works good.
It outputs as follows:

14500.000 3400.000 -2000.000

%
O1234
G4X1.
#101=PRM[12318]
#135=#5001
#136=#5002
#137=#5003
#138=#137-#101
POPEN
DPRNT[#135[53]*#136[43]*#138[43]]
PCLOS
G4X1.
M30
%

The problem I am having is it outputs a PRNT0000.DAT (if PRM6019 bit 3 (OFN) is set to 0) file for each position I run the macro at or it just overwrites the MCR_PRNT.TXT (if PRM6019 bit 3 (OFN) is set to 1 ) file with the last position the macro was run at. Is there a way to output multiple positions in one MCR_PRNT.TXT/PRNT0000.DAT file?

Example:

14500.000 3400.000 -2000.000
14000.500 3000.500 -1500.000
13500.000 2500.000 -1000.500

Any help or advise will be much appreciated

So I have written a Python script to run in the background taking data from MCR_PRNT.TXT and writing it into a new file "Probed_Data.TXT". This runs continuously as a loop. Whenever MCR_PRNT.TXT is modified it will append the data into Probed_Data.TXT

Every time you PCLOS it makes a new file. To keep your subcall process you would remove POPEN and PCLOS from the sub and move it outside the loop.

POPEN
