18.11 Measuring cycles and measurement functions

Definition file: User GUD block

Data for user logs are generally logged from the S_PROTTXT[10] GUD array (PGUD).

If the data array is not sufficient, you can create a second array with the predefined name

S_USERTXT[n] in a separate GUD block (e.g. MGUD or UGUD):

DEF NCK STRING[200] S_USERTXT[n]

; n = number of field elements

Note

The logging operation checks whether the S_USERTXT array is available. If S_USERTXT is

available, the content of the array is logged. If S_USERTXT is not available, the content of the

S_PROTTXT array is logged.

18.11.5.4

66 characters per line correspond to the screen width in the default setting. A log line is therefore

displayed completely on the screen. If logging is mainly performed in the file system of the NC, this

setting should be retained because of the better readability. If you perform logging mainly in external

files, you can increase the line width accordingly. In this case, the width of column 1 is increased

automatically (with the same width for columns 2, 3 and 4 and the same column space).

Bit mask "disablekeys"

The bit mask for an OEMFrame application is set to the binary value 0x3FFFF by default. Thus,

all of the keyboard sequences are filtered out and not forwarded to the OEMFrame application.

If a bit is set to 0, the keyboard filter for the corresponding sequence is deactivated and the

OEMFrame application is able to receive the keyboard sequence.

If, for example, an OEMFrame application is to receive all of the softkeys of left and bottom

0038 0000 hexadecimal

1. Select Hex on the calculator.

2. Enter the digit string 00380000 (leading zeroes can be omitted).

3. Select Dec.

Result: 3670016

4. Assign the result to the parameter as a characteristic value.

Application examples

For the Windows application Notepad, the system menu as well as the horizontal and vertical

scroll bar should be activated:

[notepad]

WindowStyle_On = 3670016

No minimize box and no maximize box should be displayed for the Windows application

Notepad:

[notepad]

WindowStyle_Off = 196608

x/y

The parameters x and y define the starting coordinates of the window of the Windows

application to be linked, measured from an origin in the upper left corner of the screen. x is the

horizontal coordinate, y is the vertical coordinate pointing downward. The unit of measurement

is pixels.

20.2 Parameterizing the OEMFrame application

The following parameter assignment is possible:

[startup]

fSearchOnlyForTaskWindow = 0

fRestoreTaskWindow

This parameter defines the behavior when exiting a Windows application that was started from

the OEMFrame application as second task level.

When the OEMFrame application is deselected, the last window that was active

(ForegroundWindow) is saved by default. When reselecting the OEMFrame application, this

window is reactivated.

If another application was started from the OEMFrame application, then the active window

refers to the new Windows application.

Note

Incorrect displays

In many cases, the proxy application "oemframe.exe" cannot detect when the new Windows

application ends. Display errors can occur in the second task level. Activate a basic window for

the OEMFrame application.

The behavior can be influenced via the following values:

fRestoreTaskWindow

= 0

When selecting the OEMFrame application or starting a Windows application from the

OEMFrame application, the ForegroundWindow is activated. When ending the second

task level, the OEMFrame application is displayed.

= 1

When selecting the OEMFrame application or starting a Windows application from the

OEMFrame application, a basic window is activated before the ForegroundWindow is

activated. When ending the second task level, the basic window of the OEMFrame applica-

tion is always displayed.

20.2 Parameterizing the OEMFrame application

On switching from one operating area to another, the last active window ForegroundWindow

of the OEMFrame application is saved. When reselecting the application, the

ForegroundWindow window is then reactivated.

The behavior can be changed via the following values:

fForceTaskFocus and fSearchForPopUps

= 1

When the OEMFrame application is deselected, an active popup window is searched for

rather than the ForegroundWindow window.

Behavior of the search:

● If a popup window was found, it is displayed when the OEMFrame application is

reselected.

● If no popup window exists or was found, the basic window of the application is displayed

when the application is reselected.

fKeepPlacement

This parameter deactivates the resizing (zooming) for the basic window of the OEMFrame

application. By default, the application is zoomed to the screen size before it is displayed. In the

case of applications that do not allow their windows to be zoomed, the resizing can result in

display problems. In such cases, the zoom function must be deactivated.

Example

An application "fixres.exe" should be displayed in its programmed window size. The following

parameter assignment is required:

nInitShowMode/nShowMode/nUnShowMode

The three parameters define how the application window will be displayed when the application

is started, hidden, and shown.

The parameter nInitShowMode starts the application. The nShowMode parameter refers to

showing the application (area is activated). The parameter nUnShowMode hides the

application.

The following value range exists for the parameters nShowMode and nUnShowMode:

nShowMode and nUnShowMode

= 0

The application window is hidden (SW_HIDE).

= 1

The application window is displayed in its original form (position, size) and has the input

focus (SW_SHOWNORMAL, SW_NORMAL).

= 2

The application window is minimized and has the input focus

(SW_SHOWMINIMIZED).

= 3

The application window is maximized (SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED).

= 4

The application window is displayed without having the input focus

(SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE).

= 5

The application window is displayed and has the input focus (SW_SHOW).

= 6

The application window is minimized and loses the input focus (SW_MINIMIZE).

= 7

The application window is minimized without having the input focus

(SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE).

= 8

The application window is displayed without having the input focus

(SW_SHOWNA).

= 9

The application window is displayed in its original form (position, size) (SW_RESTORE).

= 10

The application window is displayed in the same way as when the application was started

(SW_SHOWDEFAULT).

20.2 Parameterizing the OEMFrame application

Note

Display problems

The default settings function for most of the applications.

In exceptional cases, display problems can occur in applications with Borland-Delphi

development, i.e. shifted windows, etc.

Use the following parameters in this case:

nUnShowMode = 0

fKeepPlacement = 1

or

nInitShowMode = 1

fWinForms

Windows Forms parameters provide control elements to applications which also use Windows

default applications, e.g. dialog boxes, menus and buttons.

If the OEMFrame application is a Windows Forms application, then the following

parameterization is required:

[<app-name>]

fWinForms = 1

Note

Deactivated size adjustment

If the parameter fWinForms is not set, the OEMFrame application does not open to the

maximum size. The specified size adjustments (x, y, Width and Height) are deactivated.

nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination

This parameter controls the behavior when the OEMFrame application is exited. Normally in

this situation, the system manager displays the operating area switchover, which can be used

to switch over to another area.

The parameter nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination can be used to initiate an automatic

switch to the previously active area:

nSwitchToTaskAfterTermination

= -1

Display of the operating area switchover (default)

= -2

Switchover to the previously active area

Example

When the "closeapp.exe" Windows application is exited, a switch should be made to the

previous area. The following parameter assignment is required:

fFindWindowWithWildcards

With this parameter, a wildcard search can be activated for the attribute Windowname. In this

way it is possible to identify applications that do not have the same attribute window name at

every start, e.g. access level, time-of-day under window name, etc.:

fFindWindowWithWildcards

= 0

Wildcard search is switched off

20.3

Creating OEM subdirectories

If you would like to integrate several OEM applications (user interface dialogs or OEM frame

applications), you can distribute them to their own OEM subdirectories. The advantage is the

clear assignment of the files to a particular OEM application. This is especially true for the

"systemconfiguration.ini" file as there is a risk of it being accidentally overwritten when copying,

which may hide other OEM applications.

Create OEM subdirectories with any directory name under /oem/sinumerik/hmi. These

subdirectories are communicated in the file "systemconfiguration.ini" in directory /oem/

sinumerik/hmi/cfg. Create the following syntax in section [oem_dirs]:

OEM_<Number>=<OEM subdirectory name>
