Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual System Variables, Variable Description, 395

System Variables

Certain variables are set aside as 3500i system variables. Some may be useful for you to know when programming macros. The system variables range from #1000 to #1099. Most of these variables are "read only". You cannot write information to them. There are a few exceptions to this rule.

Variable	Description
#1000	Block skip variables (read/write)
#1010 to #1013 Commanded ABS tool position (x,y,z,u)
	NOTE: These variables are not valid during compensations
	such as tool radius, scaling, mirroring, and rotation, or while
	in transitional moves such as corner rounding and
	chamfering.
#1016	Current G motion mode (0=rapid, 1=feed, 2=cw arc, 3=ccw
	arc, 5=ellipse, 6=spiral)
#1017	Current XYZ plane (17=XY, 18=XZ, 19=YZ)
#1020	Current tool diameter
#1021	Current tool length offset
#1022	Current feedrate
#1023	Current rapidrate
#1024	Current RPM
#1030	Stock variable (R/W)
#1031	Acute angle for rounding compensated intersections
	(default = 15.0)
#1032	# of look-ahead blocks for tool diameter compensation (R/W)
#1041	Current program tool compensation (40=off, 41=left,
	42=right)
#1050 to #1057 Actual absolute position (X,Y,Z,U,V,W)
	NOTE: These variables are not valid during compensations
	such as tool radius, scaling, mirroring, and rotation, or while
	in transitional moves such as corner rounding and
	chamfering.
#1070	Current XYZ dimension (70=inch, 71=mm)
#1071	Current UVW dimension (70=inch, 71=mm)
#1090	Current XYZ dimension (90=abs, 91=incr)
#1091	Current UVW dimension (90=abs, 91=incr)
