PPFUN WEDMPassItem(57) - Wire EDM pass properties

Wire EDM pass properties command WEDMPassItem(57) is generated by EDM operations of CAM system. It is used to transfer information to the postprocessor about which contour and pass of toolpath the nested CLData commands belong to. It appears at the start of contour movements and before the end of contour movements for each separate pass.

Contour type CLD[3] The type of contour - general type pass (0) or coreless pocketing pass (1).
Item index CLD[4] Index of this contour in the list of Job assignment items of the operation.

Access from sppx

PPFUN has no sub-code-specific handler in sppx. All PPFUN sub-codes are processed in the single program PPFun handler, dispatching on cld[1] (CLD.SubCode); handle WEDMPassItem by adding a branch there. See Postprocessor function (PPFUN) for the full handler.

Example:

program PPFun
  case cld[1] of
    57: begin        ! WEDMPassItem
      ! wire-EDM pass properties
    end
  end
end

Access from .NET

This sub-code has no dedicated handler - it is delivered through the base OnPPFun (dispatch on cmd.SubCode). See Postprocessor function (PPFUN).
