Dwell time

Good morning all,
Could somebody please show me how to fix this error here?

******************** TOOLPATH WARNING REPORT ********************
Warning for line 77
G98 G82 Z-.26 R.1 P1000 F11.
P 1000 is not configured in this control
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not want to ignore it. I would like my machine add this dwell time in part cycle time as well.
Thanks in advance

Re: Dwell time

Goto Configuration Word/Address and find Register P and add the following:
Condition G82 and Macro name DwellTime
I think the controller is Fanuc and I am not sure if P1000 will be seen as 1 second or 1000 seconds.
If Vericut calculates 1000 seconds you have to add an override value of $/1000

Take a look at G4. This is a normal dwel function and see how it is defined

Re: Dwell time

I got it working ( no more error for P1000) but i did not see anytime added up in part cycle time as it should. I tried the dwelltime with value of 1000, $/1000. Am i missing something??

Re: Dwell time

If you look in the Fanuc 15m configuration (fan15m.ctl) the P is configured correctly.

P with a conditional State of Cycle ON
calls the macro CycleDwellTime

in the bottom of the Add/modify window, check Override Word Format
Set...
Inch Method = Trailing or Decimal
Inch Format = 3.4
Metric Method = Trailing or Decimal
Metric format = 4.3
OK

This will work.
