Programming

Syntax:

#CONTOUR LOOKAHEAD LOG [ON | OFF | CLEAR] [ [ PARAM=.. ] ]

ON

Activate logging of contour elements by the NC command.

OFF

Deactivate logging of contour elements by the NC command.

CLEAR

The logging buffer is cleared at every program start. Use this NC command if the buffer needs to be cleared while the program is running to log a new area.

Every time the buffer is cleared, decoding and execution are synchronised by an implicit #FLUSH&WAIT. Clearing can be executed while logging is active or inactive.

PARAM=..

This parameter allows the user to add an user-defined additional parameter (8 byte floating value) in the log entry.

Notice

notice

If #CONTOUR LOOKAHEAD LOG ON is detected several times while a program is running, only the first marked area is provided. The command #CONTOUR LOOKAHEAD LOG CLEAR can be used to delete the last marked area. The next area is then supplied again with #CONTOUR LOOKAHEAD LOG ON.
