300 Programming: Q Parameters
9.3 Describing Contours through Mathematical Operations
Programming fundamental operations
Example:
Call the Q parameter functions by pressing the Q key
To select the mathematical functions, press the
BASIC ARITHMETIC soft key
To select the Q parameter function ASSIGN, press
the FN0 X = Y soft key
Enter the number of the Q parameter, e.g. 5
Assign the value 10 to Q5
Call the Q parameter functions by pressing the Q key
To select the mathematical functions, press the
BASIC ARITHMETIC soft key
To select the Q parameter function
MULTIPLICATION, press the FN3 X * Y soft key
Enter the number of the Q parameter, e.g. 12
Enter Q5 for the first value
Enter 7 for the second value
Example: Program blocks in the TNC
16 FN 0: Q5 = +10
17 FN 3: Q12 = +Q5 * +7
