I need to know if there is a way to pass a macro variable value into an operator message along with a common text message.

I'm wanting to have an operator message that displays the results of a probing cycle.

The only way I know of to bring up an operator message is with the following code.

#3006=1(the message text goes here)

Please help !!!!

I don't remember exactly, but the answer is yes. I think it is #5xxx something you have to check the manual book.

Nope, that's not it. Anybody else have a clue on this one?

I've never seen it on FANUC. Instead, what I have done in the past is to only display it as a function of "GO/NO GO" type of thing. You can prompt the message depending on certain conditions. If the measured value is in range you prompt a message:

#3006=1(#520-VALUE-IN-TOLERANCE)

Then, if its out of tolerance you can jump it to:

#3006=2(#520-OUT-OF-TOLERANCE) .... or you can trigger a machine alarm instead:

#3000=1(OUT-OF-TOLERANCE)

If you're needing this because you need to verify results or track results, the only other way I can think of is to use a DPRINT macro and have the machine output the results to a file or printer.
