Add extra unnamed parametrs to plasma tools

Post by duritskiy »

I need set to my plasma some parameters:
1) Arc Voltage
2) THC Speed
3) Power (current)
4) Gas pressures for PreShield, PrePlasma, CutShield,CutPlasma.


And add some new Events - OnLeadIn() and OnLeadOut()
It useful when i want switch on THC only after LeadIn operation.

It is possible?
thanks.

I do plan to add the facility fro post processors to add custom parameters to tools. In the mean time you can use the DefineVariable() or DefineCustomOption() functions. For instance this code would go outside any of the function:

Code: Select all

post.DefineCustomOption("Arc Voltage",arcVoltage, sc.unit0DECPLACE, 150,250)
In function OnInit() add:

Code: Select all

post.ShowCustomOptions()
Now every time you run the post a box will pop up and ask for the arc voltage. Your post will see the value as a variable called arcVoltage

I won't be adding your extra paramaters to SheetCam but the next development release will have the DefineCustomOption() post function so your post can be modified to create them
