Control Variable - Number Array

mcam · 2014-04-22 21:38:45

Hi there,

I have a variable defined in my control. The variable is VZOFZ (Z zero set for an Okuma control). This variable has two values, depending on G140 (main spindle) or G141 (sub spindle). I set up the variable as a number array, so it is under the control variables as: VZOFZ[2]
|
- [0]
|
- [1]

In my control file I have VZOFZ set up, with either G140 or G141 active. What is the correct syntax to propagate [0] and [1] respectively? When the NC file is read it puts the G140 VZOFZ value in 0, and then when it reads the G141 VZOFZ it updates [0] and not [1].

I believe I'm not using the right syntax. Anyone care to elighten me?

Regards,

Mike

Actually. I think I have the process wrong. In the G code processing window, I have VZOFZ defined with a condition of G140 (G140 writes the value of 140 to the 6000 variable, and G141 writes the value of 141 to the 6000 variable). I just assumed that meant that if the VZOFZ value was encountered with the 6000 variable at 140, it would write the VZOFZ value to the VZOFZ variable. I realise that isn't the case.

So... what would the process be to make Vericut write the VZOFZ value, (when variable 6000 = 140) to the Variable number array location 0 for variable VZOFZ in the Control Variable page?
