XP1.E1 = XP1.E1 + 360
However, this will permanently overwrite the value in the .DAT file. So be aware.
Display MoreI should take the actual coordinate of a certain number of points (i.e. XP1.E1, XP2.E1, ...) from dat file and sum to it a value maybe inside a FOR loop before performing SLIN.
Something like
[...]
XP1.E1_new = XP1.E1_old + i*360
XP2.E1_new = XP2.E1_old + i*360
[...]
Which is the correct syntax?
Many thanks in advance!
assuming XP1.E1_old is the original retained value, it would be like
XP1.E1 = XP1.E1_old + ( i * 360.0)
Calculation need to be done inside the local src file, before you have the motion to P1.
Unless you work with Global positions and variables.

ok, as far as I understood before the calculation
XP1.E1 = XP1_E1_old + ( i * 360.0)
I have to initialize the variable XP1_E1_old = XP1.E1
Something like that?
XP1_E1_old = XP1.E1
XP1.E1 = XP1_E1_old + ( i * 360.0)
if you overwrite XP1_E1_old with the last position of the calculated E1, your point will deviate a lot.
Always keep a Start value that never changes and do your calculation.
I don't know your application, so is it a linear slide, and endless running external axis or a spindle kind of thing? It is like Google maps, to calculate the direction to a target you need to know the origin, your start-point
