How to program the part counter

[buffaloguy]

What code and how do I program my Doosan 200 (fanuci-series controls) to stop after 'x' amount of parts?

Quick generic answer is to use a macro, with the main program inside the macro along with a simple counter, where each iteration adds a 1 to the value. When that value equals the desired number of parts, you use an "IF (counter number = desired #of parts) THEN GO TO" command to send it to the end of program line.

Hey, I bet your right but Im not to keen on the whole 'macro' thing yet. I just learn the whole basic's of programming last month. I used the manual Warner and Swasey lathes until my boss bought a new CNC out of the blue and wanted me to learn it. Guess i;ll stick with trial and error for now..
