there are other things that could happen at that level also, it seems. for example: if the mdi command line had the function as a recptacle from some external source. fanuc controllers have a mode called 'tape' that was originally for use with magnetic tape reels for program files before ram was easy. the tape mode can take a serial input from an external source - tape drive, punch card reader, or other, like a pc. it is called drip feeding. i've seen discussion of something X having to do with linux, but dont know what it is. remote control and data pipes maybe? --- On Sat, 5/12/12, dave <dengv...@charter.net> wrote: > From: dave <dengv...@charter.net> > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Some advice needed > To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Saturday, May 12, 2012, 10:40 PM > On Sat, 12 May 2012 16:43:29 -0700 > (PDT) > charles green <xxzzb...@yahoo.com> > wrote: > > > easy solution: segment the program into a > sequence of files, one for > > each different tool. this is similar to a > slightly more tedious > > workaround for a controller with limited amount of > program memory. > > Ah, yes. and I keep hinting that it would be nice if we > could run a > series of jobs off a script which would make this really > easy. > > Dave > > > > > > --- On Fri, 5/11/12, Mike Bennett <mjb1...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > > From: Mike Bennett <mjb1...@gmail.com> > > > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Some advice needed > > > To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" > > > <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Friday, May 11, 2012, 11:07 > > > PM > > > > > > >> 1) is there a way to do manual tool > touch-off > > > during manual toolchange > > > >> in a middle of g-code file? > > > > > > > > Not yet.
