NEW - Cycle Times Log

CNC Bender now creates a persistent log of cycle times in a cycle time log file. The log filename is cncprocessor_cycletimes.log. It is allowed to grow to 1 megabyte in size, then older records are trimmed while newer records are added.

• The log is a comma-delimited file.
• The log contains the partname, the date, the time, the type of time (bending or overall), and the actual time in seconds.

This is a sample log:

 test part, 12/18/2008 11:33:58 AM, bending, 18.6 seconds
 test part, 12/18/2008 11:34:08 AM, overall, 34.1 seconds
 test part, 12/18/2008 11:34:38 AM, bending, 18.7 seconds
 test part, 12/18/2008 11:34:46 AM, overall, 37.9 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 2:37:22 PM, bending, 18.5 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 2:37:28 PM, overall, 36.3 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:26:21 PM, bending, 20.4 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:30:14 PM, bending, 20.5 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:33:25 PM, bending, 17.8 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:36:20 PM, bending, 16.8 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:36:26 PM, overall, 32.4 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:37:26 PM, bending, 16.8 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:37:33 PM, overall, 27.6 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:38:55 PM, bending, 17.2 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:39:01 PM, overall, 29.8 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:39:58 PM, bending, 18.8 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 4:40:04 PM, overall, 29.4 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 7:33:48 PM, bending, 17.4 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 7:33:58 PM, overall, 31.8 seconds
 8x-30928123, 12/18/2008 7:34:23 PM, bending, 17.5 seconds

• BENDING time indicates the time required for the bender to bend the part from bend one to the last bend.
• OVERALL time indicates the time required to produce the part. This time includes unloading.

NEW - Disable AUTO BUILD and BUILD PROCESSLIST Buttons in OFFLINE Mode

OFFLINE mode of CNC Bender allows users to program parts in CNC Bender on a desktop that is remote from the bender. See CNC Bender Offline for details of the OFFLINE mode package.

CNC Bender now disables all buttons that will build the processlist when it is in OFFLINE mode. The reason for this is that a process list build has no meaning in OFFLINE since process lists are used by CNC Processor to move the bender.
