I do not know if it is called ram, it is four axis: x,y,z,c. There is some backward reverse run functionality in another branch I tried on EDM spark generator a few months ago. I also have a wire EDM machine but this will come later on. I started to look towards gladevcp yesterday. In first instance I am unsure how user interface should look and the which commnands/motions are useful. There is a row solenoids connected to flow and I guess it is useful to have these in user interface and commands but have no idea how this use to be done? Anybody have a picture? Know which commands are useful? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
