General Mach Discussion / Scripting help

« on: December 02, 2014, 08:01:55 PM »

I am using script for motion and data acquisition.  I would would like to gather DRO data after a move.  I am looking for a statement that will dwell/pause the script and allow the movement to complete before the DRO data is acquired.

Thanks for the reminder.  The afternoon of study really helped with the concept.  The DRO data I am after today is the "fence", which is X in machine coordinates.  I may add a second capture of Y.  That would allow the material to be measured in width and tracked.

Here is a snap of the screen to show what we are doing.  So far it works well.  The data capture will allow tracking of side-bend in the raw material.

Thank you!

I did find the Mach customizing manual today.  Also, I have been reading up on VBS all afternoon.

Thanks again for your help . . . without it and the help of others here I would still be looking for the start button.

TP,

Would you please give a bit of a trail-head for the process.  Perhaps a reference to the manual section.  I think I can figure the script for capture and write, but I am somewhat lost on a location to write the data to.

Thanks.

Thanks,

Before I delve into the process, can you tell me what format the file will be stored in?  And is the process suitable for multiple acquisitions such as 500 to 1,000 per shift.  That is, does it save to a continuing single file or will we see 1 file for each acquisition thus 1,000 individual files?

I would like to capture the machine coordinate DRO data/value and send/store it for later use in Excel.  Any ideas on how this can be done?  The primary function would be to acquire the X DR0 reading upon the closing/opening of a limit switch.  X would be stationary at the time of capture.

Thanks, I did just that.  Thanks for the help.  Is BR549 a telephone number or a band?
