PostVars List For LazyCam Post Processor

The document provides examples of post variables that can be used in a post processor to output machine code values for different modal and non-modal settings like position values, feed rates, spindle speeds, tool numbers, and coolant/plasma settings. It describes each post variable enclosed in {} brackets and examples of how it would output specific values for things like axis positions, feed rates, spindle commands, tool changes, and plasma piercing/lifting delays.

PostVars List for LazyCam post processor: MODAL Vars To make the modal settings change only when

the value changes use the []s. Here is an example of how to use the []s: [ G{MODE}] This will only output the G{MODE} if it is not the same as the last one that it output. {MODE} - Will set the mode that the move or cycle should be done in. Example: G{MODE} Output G0 {XPOS} Will give the endpoint in the X axis of the move that is being done. Example: X{XPOS} Output X12.3456 {YPOS} Will give the endpoint in the Y axis of the move that is being done. Example: Y{YPOS} Output Y12.3456 {ZPOS} Will give the endpoint in the Z axis of the move that is being done. Example: Z{ZPOS} Output Z12.3456 {IPOS} Will give the center point of an arc in ABS or INC depending on the setting on the Post Options Dialog. Example: I{IPOS} Output I12.3456 {JPOS} Will give the center point of an arc in ABS or INC depending on the setting on the Post Options Dialog. Example: J{JPOS} Output J12.3456 {FEED} Will put out the feed rate that is needed at the time. For moves in the X,Y CutFeed will be used and for Z moves Plunge Feed will be used. Example: F{FEED} Output F1234.56 {RAPIDHEIGHT} - Will give you the Rapid height of the chain that is being posted. Example: Z{RAPIDHEIGHT} Output Z12.3456 {STARTHEIGHT} - Will give you the Start height of the chain that is being posted. Example: Z{STARTHEIGHT} Output Z12.3456 {SPINDLEON} - Will output the direction and speed of the spindle. Example: {SPEEDON} Output M3 S1234 {SPINDLEOFF} - Will output the direction and speed of the spindle. Example: {SPEEDOFF} Output M5

Non Modal Vars {TOOLNUM} Will Give the Tool Number of the chain that is going to be cut. Example: T{TOONUM} Output T1 {COOLANT} Will turn the coolant on if it is enabled in the Post Options dialog Example: {COOLANT} Output M8 {PIERCEDELAY} Will insert the code to delay the pierce for Plasma. The time is set in the Plasma settings under Post Options. Example: { PIERCEDELAY } Output G4 P123 {LIFTDELAY} Will insert the code to delay the lift for Plasma. The time is set in the Plasma settings under Post Options. Example: {LIFTDELAY} Output G4 P124
