I have 81 total configurations for a lens.  Using ZPL, I want to be able to write specific comments into the LTTL and MOFF lines that help me keep track of everything.  How to do that?


Thanks,


Mike

Hi Mike,


I don't exactly know what you intend to do, but perhaps this macro snippet can help you:



# Index of operand position in the MCE
operand_position = 1
# Configuration number in which the comment is written
configuration = 1
# Insert new MC operand
INSERTMCO operand_position
# Set new operand to MOFF
SETMCOPERAND operand_position, 0, 'MOFF', 0
# Change value of new operand at Config 1 with 'My comment'
SETMCOPERAND operand_position, configuration, 'My comment', 0

The comments in my code should be self-explanatory. However, should you still have questions, feel free to ask them. The main keyword for this task is SETMCOPERAND, you can find its definition in the Help File under: The Programming Tab > About the ZPL > KEYWORDS (about the zpl) > SETMCOPERAND .


I hope this helps.


Take care,


David
