Hi EMC2 pros I was using 12 years IBH CNC: http://www.ibh-cnc.com
They had so called "Parameter sentences". A parameter sentence was always one Line, and startet with a star, for example: *N10 P43=4000 With this lines you could perform simple math like *+-/, sqr, If, goto etc, you had about 200 Parameters (P0...P200) This parameters are set global, this means you could simply call a subprogram to set machine zero points etc. the great advance was you could move the Machine fixture to another place, set the new values in the subprogram and run all "old" programs without any hassle. Parameter lines could not move any axis and set no M code I used it a lot for parameterize my code, eg set machine fixture zero point, speeds. distances etc. this Parametes could be used for setting distances, speeds etc in "normal" CNC code like: N10 X10 Y10 F=P43 I'm quite sure, also other manufacturers used some similar approach to get such results. In my opinion, this approach has the advantage, to be used without any restrictions for other CNC Code. Only my 5 cents.
