Parametric Programming

[weaston]

Hi,

Ive heard a little about parametric programming (MACRO B). I know nothing about it. What Ive read sounds great - I need to learn more...but can't find much literature about it particularly literature which is available in South Africa. Any one know how I get get hold of some???

Thanks

Eh? I use Dolphin CAD/ CAM and I haven't heard of parametric programming either... is it a name for something I already do. but call something else or am I just thick?

I go something for you -

And you are right.This is great stuff, I am a beginner myself. I started a couple a weeks a go.

Good Luck

This is usually an option on many machines, its a way of enhancing the G code programming to include mathematical and logic routines to be written, it uses variable storage registers for values to act on etc, also machine function registers can be read that will monitor the state of the machine, like servo position etc for writing probe routines as an example.
