I am working on my tool changing routine again and I'm not sure about something right now.
For debugging the subroutine has a debug_mode parameter. The user can set it to "1" and the subroutine writes a log-file.
Code:
;-3- Create debug mode log file
o<10> if [#<debug_mode> EQ 1]
(debug, logfile.txt created in the configuration folder)
(logopen,logfile.txt)
(log, Log file for the subroutine "tool_touch_off.ngc" Version 3.1.0 from TooTall18T)
(log, Fast: #<fast_probe_fr>;)
....
There are additional log commands in some places in the routine. The routine checks if the debug_mode is set to "1". But is that needed?
Code:
o<16> if [#<debug_mode> EQ 1]
(log, Old tool length: #<tool_length_old>;)
o<16>endif
Would it be a problem if I delete the o-codes for the additional log commands and leave only the logopen command in a o-code if statement?
I tested it without visible issues. But I'm not sure if there a any invisible issues.
The only thing I see is when a log file is already open it is written there even if the debug_mode is set to "0". But this could be prevented with a logclose command at the beginning of the routine.
