It is often desirable to be able to run a G code program that uses variables in its motion parameters.  For instance, it may be necessary to run a complex motion program that allows the operator to set some of the parameters before execution of the program begins.  It also allows programmers the flexibility to develop applications that use G code in unconventional ways to get the functionality they need.

 

The zip file below contains a PAM project archive, an embedded Xpress LRP file and a sample G code file.  The G code file should be placed in the PAC's root directory for this demo.  Actual implementations should read G code from a USB stick so that runtime file-handling operations do not risk corrupting the SD card.
