New to G-Code, need HLC

[deleteallusers]

HLC - High Level Control (like a more flexable programming language)

I'm totaly new to G-Code, but I'm a programmer, I need to...

do somthing like this.

10 g00 X0
20 g00 x-11.9844

30 'and here's really what I need
40 g00 y=y+1
50 if y=11.9844 then goto HOME_IT
60 goto 10

:HOME_IT
g00 x0 y0 z0

********************************
It does not need to be exactly like the above code, I just need
a way to use variables, loops and functions.
It would be nice to be able to define constants, and/or macros also.

Like I said I'm totaly new to G-Code. Is there
a tool I can use to do this ? is it built in ?

Where is a tutoral, How do I do it ?

Thanks,

The following would apply to HAAS and Fanuc.

Nxxxx is a line number and is not required unless you need or want it.
(Inside parens) is a comment. There were some non-obvious problems on older HAAS machines, still no way to put a paren inside a comment.
G00 and G01 are motion commands. Asserted once is all that is necessary for a sequence of linear moves.

Variables addresses are identified a # and number.
So your increment operation is
#500 = #500 + 1

IF THEN works

IF [#500 GT 100] GOTO 300
otherwise here

N300


On the HAAS website www.haasautomation.com
bottom of page site map, then customer service, manual updates, MIL 96-8000.

Go to the section on MACROS starting around page 80.

edit
MACROS in CNC are simply an extension of the G-code instructions. There is no such thing as a computer language MACRO in HAAS.

What kind of control are you trying program, because it can vary. If you have a fanuc, you have to pay extra to have the macro b option turned on.
Like Gar said ( coment go in here), but [math function go in here].

Indramat MTCNC uses word jumps if you specifically want words. Fanuc will do a line number jump.
