Input of Data Numeric and String | Galil DMC-1800, DMC-1700 specs

Operand Summary - Automatic Data Capture

_RC

_RD

Returns a 0 or 1 where, 0 denotes not recording, 1 specifies recording in progress

Returns address of next array element.

Example - Recording into An Array

During a position move, store the X and Y positions and position error every 2 msec.

#RECORD	Begin program
DM XPOS[300],YPOS[300]	Define X,Y position arrays
DM XERR[300],YERR[300]	Define X,Y error arrays
RA XPOS[],XERR[],YPOS[],YERR[]	Select arrays for capture
RD _TPX,_TEX,_TPY,_TEY	Select data types
PR 10000,20000	Specify move distance
RC1	Start recording now, at rate of 2 msec
BG XY	Begin motion
#A;JP #A,_RC=1	Loop until done
MG “DONE”	Print message
EN	End program
#PLAY	Play back
N=0	Initial Counter
JP# DONE,N>300	Exit if done
N=	Print Counter
X POS[N]=	Print X position
Y POS[N]=	Print Y position
XERR[N]=	Print X error
YERR[N]=	Print Y error
N=N+1	Increment Counter
#DONE	Done
EN	End Program

Deallocating Array Space

Array space may be deallocated using the DA command followed by the array name. DA*[0] deallocates all the arrays.

Input of Data (Numeric and String)

Input of Data

The command, IN, is used to prompt the user to input numeric or string data. Using the IN command, the user may specify a message prompt by placing a message in quotations. When the controller executes an IN command, the controller will wait for the input of data. The input data is assigned to the specified variable or array element.

An Example for Inputting Numeric Data

IN “Enter Length”, LENX
