Operator Prompts - Text and Pictures

Post by nandkishork59 »

Hello....
Wish to explore whether the "M200, M223, M224, M225 & M290 - Formatted String Commands" can be further enhanced for user experience by incorporating suitable pictures (Tool, Fixture, Pictorial Guidance for actions to be taken by the operator, Some Training Guidance, etc.).
Please comment.......

Hello,

To my knowledge, The Formatted String Commands do not support embedded images and ect, they simply use a "string" (Strictly characters).

If you need to display pictures you may be able to setup a Skinning App (Like Swissi's Probe App and its custom pictures for example). Documentation on the CNCSkinning can be found in your cncm or cnct install directory.

Look at M200 and M201 in the operator's manual. It might be of any help. But as of now, no images can be displayed that I know of.
