1.9.1 Type conversion to STRING (AXSTRING)
Function
Using the function "type conversion to STRING" variables of different types can be used as a
component of a message (MSG).
When using the << operator this is realized implicitly for data types INT, REAL, CHAR and
BOOL (see "
Concatenation of strings (<<) (Page 77)").
An INT value is converted to normal readable format. REAL values convert with up to
10 decimal places.
Type AXIS variables can be converted to STRING using the
AXSTRING command.
Syntax
<STRING_ERG> = << <any_type>
<STRING_ERG> = AXSTRING(<axis identifier>)
Significance
Variable for the result of the type conversion <STRING_ERG>:
Type: STRING
<any_type>: Variable types INT, REAL, CHAR, STRING and BOOL
AXSTRING: The AXSTRING command supplies the specified axis identifier
as string.
Variable for axis identifier
<axis identifier>:
Type: AXIS
Note
FRAME variables cannot be converted.
Examples
Example 1:
MSG("Position:"<<$AA_IM[X])
Example 2: AXSTRING
