User manual

When the Software flow control method is used, the most current XON or XOFF

received during transmission will be displayed on the right of the display. Use this

feedback to determine if the LANCNC unit is receiving XON or XOFF characters.

End of Block Char

End of block sets the format for end of block characters. The most common end of block

is the carriage return/ line feed used by most PC computers. The next most common is

the Teletype end of block, which is line feed/carriage return. This parameter value will be

the end of block that is used when sending data to the CNC. When data is received from a

CNC, a carriage return/line feed end of block is always used in order for the to be viewed

when files with a computer.

The following choices are available:

CR LF

LF CR

LF CR CR

None/binary

Use the ‘None/binary’ for controls that do not use text files or a file that does not contain

control characters. For example, Mazak has an optional non-G code file system that will

not work in text mode. The LANCNC will transfer those files when the binary option is

selected.

End of Block Delay

Delay sets a pause at the end of a block of data. Typically, this is set to ‘no delay’ to

ensure the fastest data communication at the selected baud rate. Choose a delay if the

CNC manufacturer requests a delay at the end of a block or if the CNC is losing blocks of

data in the program. This feature is typically used for older CNC’s with low

communication and baud rate capability.
