learning looping.... I Want to just repeat program in the program?

Joe.Reilly
So I have 100 small squares with 4 holes on the corners, I am set up to run 3 then the program ends.

I want to just replace the parts while the machine measures the last one, is this looping or a subroutine?

I will be getting 500 more tommorrow, and will likely measure 10 at a time instead.

any examples or point to previous thread appreciated!

  • Just one possible solution.

    Insert a label

    LABEL/L1

    your code to loop the 3 parts

    Insert a yes/no comment such as "measure more parts?"

    use Flow Control (C1.INPUT or change to whatever your yes/no comment name is)

    IF C1.INPUT == "YES"
    GOTO/L1
    END_IF

    Hope this helps

    More on this, you could always put an INPUT comment at the beginning asking how many parts the inspector will be running. That way the inspector is not having to click YES/NO after each part.

    C1=COMMENT/INPUT, "HOW MANY ARTICLES ARE YOU INSPECTING?"
    ASSIGN/COUNT=1
    DO/
    "RUN PROGRAM FOR PART"
    COMMENT, "MEASURED " + COUNT + " OUT OF " C1.INPUT + " TIMES."
    ASSIGN/COUNT=COUNT+1
    UNTIL/COUNT == C1.INPUT

    At the end you could always add in an operator comment asking if there are anymore pieces to inspect, like the quoted IF statement and have it loop back to L1.
