The title (for listing/directory display). A maximum of 66 characters is allowed.
When a CL file is processed, the user has the option to produce a verification listing. Often this verification is used in the shop router as the listing used by the machine operator. The verification listing provides a more readable form of the data produced to operate the machine tool and includes additional information that is useful to the programmer/operator. This combo box provides options to either eliminate the verification print altogether or choose on of several formatting options.
This option will allow the GPost to execute in debug mode and communicate with the Austin NC Java GPost debug user-interface. You must have the stand alone CimPRO version of GPost to execute outside your CAM system.
This option gives the user the opportunity to output or suppress warning messages in the verification listing file. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,06,TO,0 $$ Do not suppress warning messages (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,06,TO,1 $$ Suppress all warning messages
Check this option to suppress all major word warnings in the list file; do not check to print the warnings.
Example: Your CL file contains a SET command for G92 output. Machine 1 has the preset option (G92); Machine 2 does not. The postprocessor issues a warning in the list file for Machine 2, although it does not output G92. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,20,TO,0 $$ Output warning for illegal major words (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,20,TO,1 $$ Do not output warning for illegal major words
This option gives the user the opportunity to control whether the postprocessor heading is printed out on each page of the verification listing. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,04,TO,0 $$ Print page heading (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,04,TO,1 $$ Do not print page heading
This value controls the maximum number of lines per page in the verification listing. This allows the user to adjust the page size for printing purposes due to differences in printers and paper size.
The postprocessor can print the machine control data exactly as it appears in the machine control data file, or it can format the output in the verification listing. The formatted version places a decimal point for decimal registers (X, Y, ...) and does not suppress zeroes for integer registers. Check the Print as is (non-formatted) box to print the exact machine control data in the list file. Check the Print formatted version to print a formatted version of the machine control data in the list file. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,31,TO,0 $$ Print the tape image (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,31,TO,1 $$ Print the formatted version
Normally the machine X axis dimensions shown in the verification listing are presented as radii (Spindle centerline to tool tip). This option allows you to specify the verification data be output as part diameters (modified by tool nose radius). Selection of this option does not imply that the machine control data file is modified - this data is controlled via "Machine Tool Type Panel, Specs tab". Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,51,TO,0 $$ Print verification X in radius (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,51,TO,1 $$ Print verification X in diameter
This option controls whether input file statements are imbedded in the list file. By default they are not. Activating this feature will cause the input statement to be printed in the list file followed by the output blocks of the machine control data that it causes the postprocessor to create. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,87,TO,0 $$ Input statements are not imbedded in MCD output (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,87,TO,1 $$ Input statements are imbedded in MCD output
If this check box is selected, the user can specify input statements to skip. A new flag Intcom 4658 will provide further control as to which type of commands to print. It is a 4-digit field to be set as no=0 or yes=1 for each option below: Default=0000 to print all commands as before.
Skip printing of FIL generated commands (1st digit)
Skip printing of PPRINT text commands (2nd digit)
Skip printing of INSERT text commands (3rd digit)
Skip printing of PARTNO text commands (4th digit)
For example, I4658=1000 will suppress printing of FIL generated input commands. Note: You must still set ITSBIT(87)=1.
