SCREEN HARD COPY FUNCTION

Overview

This function converts screen information displayed on the CNC into
bit map format data and output it to a memory card. Once output, bit
map format data can be displayed and edited on a personal computer.

Explanation
- Start/cancellation methods

The screen hard copy function is started by pressing and holding down
key

for five seconds. The function can be canceled by pressing

key

- Acquisition and output of screen data

When started, the screen hard copy function starts acquiring screen
data. As soon as it has acquired it, the function outputs bit map format
data to the memory card inserted into the LCD unit. While screen data
is being acquired, the screen remains stationary for a few seconds.
Acquired screen data can be output from the memory card screen.
Also, while screen data is being output, "OUTPUT" blinks in the
status display.

- Screen data file names

Bit map format screen data files created by this function are assigned
the names below, starting with the one created after the power is
turned on.
"HDCPY000.BMP" (name of the first file output to the memory card
after the power is turned on)
"HDCPY001.BMP" (name of the second file output to the memory card
after the power is turned on)
              :
              :
"HDCPY999.BMP" (name of the 1000th file output to the memory
card after the power is turned on)
If, after a file with "HDCPY999.BMP" is output, the screen hard copy
function is executed, the file name returns to "HDCPY000.BMP". If,
however, a file with the same file name as the one to be output when
the screen hard copy function is executed exists on the memory card,
alarm SR1973 is issued. If the capacity of the memory card is
exceeded, alarm SR1962 is issued.
In either case, screen data is not output, so that either the existing file
needs to be deleted or the memory card needs to be replaced with a
new one.
