Heidenhain Q-Parameters

Write real Heidenhain Klartext Q-parameter macros in your browser, from your first variable to a bolt circle that centres itself on a probed feature. Eight lessons, each graded against the same TNC engine the Macro Playground runs.

Start the track
  1. 1Q-Parameters & AssignmentStore a number in a Q-parameter and compute one value from another.
  2. 2Arithmetic & TrigDo trigonometry in Klartext and know the control works in degrees.
  3. 3Q, QL & QR — Parameter ScopeTell the three parameter families apart and use plain Q for everyday math.
  4. 4Reading Probe ResultsRead the Q-parameters a probe fills in and average opposite edges into a centre.
  5. 5A Labelled LoopRepeat work with a label and a conditional jump instead of copying blocks.
  6. 6The FN Arithmetic FunctionsDo the same arithmetic with the explicit FN functions you'll meet in posted code.
  7. 7Bolt Circle From a Probed CentrePut reading, trig and a loop together into a real parametric drill pattern.
  8. 8An In-Process Tolerance GuardBranch on a measurement and flag a part good or scrap.

Progress is kept in this browser only — no account, nothing to sign up for.
