How to setting decimal point for NC data output?

[Camtooler]

Good day,
I need some help here, can anyone tell me how to setting number of decimal point for NC data output for MC?My problem here is I want to change my NC data output from 3 decimal point to 4 decimal point for more precise.. Thanks

It would be a setting in your post (*.pst) file, I'd say, at a guess.

Thanks luke..i'll try it

Yes, they are controlled in the post

look for

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Format statements - n=nonmodal, l=leading, t=trailing, i=inc, d=delta # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Default english/metric position format statements fs2 1 0.7 0.6 #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize ( fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place #Common format statements fs2 4 1 0 1 0 #Integer, not leading fs2 5 2 0 2 0l #Integer, force two leading fs2 6 3 0 3 0l #Integer, force three leading fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading fs2 8 5 0 5 0l #Integer, force five leading fs2 9 0.1 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 1 place fs2 10 0.2 0.2 #Decimal, absolute, 2 place fs2 11 0.3 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 3 place fs2 12 0.4 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 4 place fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place fs2 14 0.3 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 3 place fs2 15 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place (feedrate) fs2 16 1 0 1 0n #Integer, forced output fs2 17 1.4 1.3lt #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 trailing

BUT
How many decimal places does your machine read in metric ? usually 3 ( 4 for inch ) and 4 for degrees

Posts are usually set-up OK , but you have to be careful in what you change as one format statement can control many different addresses. Some machines error if too many decimal places are given, especially on arcs.

fmt N 4 n$ #Sequence number fmt X 2 xabs #X position output fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output fmt X 3 xinc #X position output fmt Y 3 yinc #Y position output fmt Z 3 zinc #Z position output fmt A 11 cabs #C axis position fmt A 14 cinc #C axis position fmt A 14 cout_i #C axis position fmt A 4 indx_out #Index position

in the above example, C axis position is using format statement A (address), with #11 format. Go to the fs2 11 line what says 0.3 0.3 , which is no leading zero and up to 3 places after the decimal, change the fmt A 11 to fmt A 12 would give you 4 decimal places on the A axis output
