2 Small Problems.

[Terry Davis]

These will probably require a call to tech support but I thought I would post to see if anyone has had these problems or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
1. Timer will not work, turned on in control nesting and you can see the sub-routines being called and ended in the code but it never displays on screen.
2. When programming at the hand held, (circles,arcs) pressing shift-5, enter axis 1 distance and + or - and axis 2 distance + or - then pressing shift -7 doesn't display angle on the handheld, when I walk over to the console the cursor is sitting in the helix box I have to hit F6 to teach angle then angle will display on the handheld, I enter my angle at the handheld then machine will complete arc or circle and I can continue programming.

Terry, it sounds like you have a couple good ones there.

1. Try writing a simple program at the control that looks something like this,

M98PSTRTTIME.SUBL1
G04F10
M98PENDTIME.SUBL1

see if that opens a dispay window with the timer information in it. If so, make sure you have the latest Control Nesting update installed on your control.

2. This sounds like there is a key issue on the Hand Held Programmer. Do you have a problem enter incremental movements using the 7 key, ie Axis 1, 27 inches +?

Pete, I wrote the small program and ran it, it displays the timer code, pauses then returns to the original screen no timer displayed...

Ok, Terry I'll call you shortly.
