Hi,

I have a new project where I need to call out the number of times a program will run a part. I am planning on using a sub-program. I need a way to call out the "L" number of program repeats on the user screen. Is there a way to write to a variable register through mach screens? Or, is there a better way to call out the "L" number?

On you screen add a DRO and a button. The dro holds the Lvalue name it OemDro(2000) , the button transfers the Dro to a #var. IN your code make the Lvalue a #var.

G98 P100 L#500

The Code in the button would be like

SetVar(500, GetOemDro(2000)


Each time you use the button it would transfer the DRO to the #var. So when you ran the SUB it did the requested number of LOOPS.


NOW IF you did NOT want to add anything to your screen set up the L as L#500. Then from the MDI just type in #500 =25. That set s the var value to 25 and the sub will LOOP 25 times.
