Viewing System Variables

[Moparmatty]

Is there anyway to look at the system variables on my new Haas VF6-50? I can look at the macro variables but I can't seem to find the system variable pages.

Thanks,

Matt

Moparmatty:

The easy way is to write a program like the following:

%
O0100
#101 = #3901 (counter #1)
#102 = #3902 (counter #2)

%

The #100 addresses are easy to get to for viewing. Just pick addresses you do not need for other purposes. These would be ones that are to remain unchanged from one program execution to another.

page 84 of the on-line manual for system variable addresses.

The technique of copying to #100 variables for viewing is useful for program troubleshooting.

Thanks. I'll give that I try. I was hoping you could just scroll down through then like you can from #1-#999

You should be able to send them out the serial port with DPRNT and have a laptop setup to capture the text.

The only reason I wanted to see the variable was to confirm I was picking the correct one for setting up my probe in the MCam post.

I'll just have to trust that the manual is correct unless someone can tell me what buttons to push so I can view ALL variable right on the machine control.

Thanks,
Matt

The procedure I supplied you above allows you to view the values on the machine.
