 Posted: Fri Jul 02, 2004 11:58 am Post subject: How To Debug A Macro Using DPRNT |
 |
|
Sometimes debugging a large macro program can be difficult. You're trying to look at the program screen, position data and see what value your variables are set to all at the same time. I use this small macro to dynamically output the value of variables to a computer connected to the machine tool. If you use a terminal program like Windows terminal you can see the data as it is received.
To use this macro put an G65P626 in the program you're debugging anywhere you want to check the value of variables. Of course you will need to modify the macro to output the variables you are interested in but you get the idea!

DPRNT [V186**#186[24]***V188**#188[24]***V190**#190[24]]]
DPRNT [G54*X**#5221[24]***G54**Y**#5222[24]***G54*Z**#5223[24]]
DPRNT [G55*X**#5241[24]***G55**Y**#5242[24]***G55*Z**#5243[24]]
DPRNT [G56*X**#5261[24]***G56**Y**#5262[24]***G56*Z**#5263[24]]
DPRNT [G57*X**#5281[24]***G57**Y**#5282[24]***G57*Z**#5283[24]]
DPRNT [G58*X**#5301[24]***G58**Y**#5302[24]***G58*Z**#5303[24]]

In this example,
DPRNT [V154**#154[24]***V156**#156[24]***V158**#158[24]],
the value of variable #154 is output with 2 places before the decimal and four after. V154 is output before the value of #154 for readability.
In this example,
DPRNT [G54*X**#5221[24]***G54**Y**#5222[24]***G54*Z**#5223[24]],
the value of G54 X is output with 2 places before the decimal and four after. G54 X is output before the value for readability.
Here is a sample of the output from the macro:
