Hi to all. I'm testing some Gcode programs trying to experiment the LinuxCNC Gcode (dialect) flexibility and functional power . I've to say that I'm not oriented to a machine tool application (everything but the machine tool) . So for that reason the approach is a bit "unconventional" . Usually for that kind of applications when using a CNC I start the Gcode main program and during the execution I can jump forward and backward (to a Label/line number) within the program (and subs) and never end the program execution until a program stop is requested from the operator or another external request. The jump sintax is quite simple and clear regardless the CNC brand (for my personal experience). As an example I point to you the Siemens Sinumerik way to do it : Sinumerik Programming Manual Fundamentals <http://www.automation.siemens.com/doconweb/pdf/SINUMERIK_SIMODRIVE_04_2010_E/PG.pdf?p=1> See the Section 10 "Arithmetic Parameters and Program Jumps"
I looked into the LCNC user manual but I didn't find nothing comparable . I know about the "o" words and the conditional looping or program switching . But this way is too much constrictive and in some case not fitting the application. Especially if a structured and parametric program is needed where to jump back and forth is a must to have. If there is a workaround please let me know I will appreciate. As usual I have to say that "this is not a criticism to anybody" but just a point to discuss with you.
