Loading the first tool after program is finished

[sales]

Hello,
I'm trying to call the first tool after the program is complete.
Post standard Siemens-840D mill.
Thank you.

I would probably just set a collected state variable equal to the tool number on the first section. For example, see below:-

Add a variable to collected state ( I will call the Variable finalToolCall for this example)

// collected state
var sequenceNumber;
var currentWorkOffset;
var optionalSection = false;
var forceSpindleSpeed = false;
var activeMovements; // do not use by default
var currentFeedId;
var finalToolCall;

in onSection, set its value to equal the tool number if it is the first section:

function onSection() {

if (isFirstSection()) {
finalToolCall = tool.number;
}

Call the command where needed, probably onClose?

writeBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(finalToolCall), mFormat.format(6));
