Expressions to Track Overrides

Overview

In order to track overrides using custom variables, some expressions and custom variables may need to be created.

For more information on Custom Variables, go here.

Create Custom Variables

Three Variables need to be created:

1. Variable 1
   • Name: FOVR
   • Display Name: Feed Rate Override
2. Variable 2
   • Name: ROVR
   • Display Name: Rapid Override
3. Variable 3
   • Name: SOVR
   • Display Name: Spindle Override

Create Expressions

One expression will be needed for each DX Source and each override you want to track. If any source is not used by your company, or if there is an override you do not need to track, the relevant expressions can be skipped.
