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.

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.
