    Argument Specification II

    Does NcPlot handle sub calls using argument specification type II?
    So all 33 parameters can be used.

    Code:
    G65 P9500 Ax.x Bx.x Cx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x Ix.x Jx.x Kx.x

    Hi Andre',

    No, it doesn't. Do you have a machine set up this way?

    I have a programming project where I may need to pass in more parameters then are available with spec. I.

    I believe it is not something that needs to be setup in the machine but just depends on how the order of the parameters in the G65/66 call line. At least that is what the manual says I have not tested it on the machine yet, need to find some time when it is not running parts.

    I can use global vars. if I need to, I just do not like doing that unless they are actually being used globally.

    A simple workaround I can use for testing in NCPlot is to put some code at the top of the sub to copy variables #901 - #933 to #1 - #33 and then put some similar code before each sub call in the main program to load up the 900 variables.

    Since this machine does not have the optional variables it should just cause an error if the copy code does not get deleted before the program gets to the machine.
