GlossCode 0.1.5

Macro variables

• Lines and words that use macro variables are read and shown instead of being dropped. A line like #110= -0.035 (setting a variable) is one word, X - #101 reads as X-#101, and Z#113, F#111 and F[#111*3] keep their variable or expression. IF, WHILE and END1 lines are kept whole as written.
• Selecting a word that uses a variable shows what it works out to each time the simulation runs that line, for example the four values X-#103 takes in a subprogram called for four rows.
• These lines no longer get false "has no number after it" problems, and a move to a variable position doesn't give arc or rapid checks a wrong position.

Okuma lathes (OSP)

• Okuma variables are read: V1=3, VC2=VC2+1 and named variables like DIA1=1.3 are one word each, and a word like X=DIA1 keeps its expression.
• Sequence names like NA1 are read as one word (G85 NA1 reads LAPRUF SEQA1, and the NA1 G81 line is labeled). GOTO N90, G85 NA1 and IF [..] N440 that point to a name or number missing from the file are flagged, and these N words no longer give a false "address used twice" problem.
• G50 X Z (or G91 G50 Z…) reads SETCOORD, setting the coordinates, instead of the spindle clamp. G03 X Z L0.062 reads L as the arc radius, and the arc checks ask for L on these lathes. G04 F0.2 reads as a dwell in seconds.

Simulation

• Macro variables are worked out as the program runs, including through local subprograms (M97 P1000), so subprograms that cut with variable positions (like concentric slots with G03 X - #103 Y#104 I#101 J - #102) draw correctly.
• Drilling cycles: each hole now plunges from R to the bottom and goes back up to R (G99) or the starting height (G98). The Z-by-line timeline draws this as a vertical line down and back up for each hole. A cycle line with L0 stores the cycle without drilling, and the holes come from the lines that follow (often a list of positions in a local subprogram). The cycle stays on until G80 or G00–G03, even across subprogram calls.
• The simulation follows jumps and loops: GOTO N90 and IF [V2 GE V1] N440 (Okuma), GOTO 100 and IF [..] GOTO 100 (Fanuc), and WHILE [..] DO1 … END1.
• Okuma lathes: G85 LAP roughing cuts the contour named on the line (NA1 G81 … G80 along Z, G82 along X) in steps of D, leaving U and W, then follows the contour at that allowance; G87 finishing follows the contour. The contour lines are skipped in normal order, as on the control. G74 face grooving plunges at the start X and every I until the X on the line. Arcs with an L radius are drawn as arcs.
• G50 X Z and G91 G50 Z… on a lathe move the zero, so a program that makes several parts from one bar (a loop that shifts Z each time) draws each part in its place.
• New G00 button beside the M01 and / buttons (also Simulate › Show rapid moves) hides rapid moves, so the toolpath shows feed moves only, like the control's own graphics screen.
