File to CNC Menu Selection

With this menu selection, a file on the ftp server memory can be sent directly to the CNC.

The first files shown on the display are files on the ftp server memory from the most

recently accessed directory. Use the buttons on the right and the left to highlight a

particular file, highlight [type file] to type in a file name, or select a new sub directory to

display. Press the center button to make the selection desired.

Shown in this example screen above, the MOLD.TXT file is highlighted. Select the

center key to prepare the file to be sent. A new screen will appear showing the file to be

sent along with a Start and Cancel display. Before pressing the Start button, prepare the

CNC control to receive a file. When the CNC is ready to accept a file, press the center

button associated with the Start button on the screen. Press the right button to cancel this

operation and return to the main menu. Use the View option to view the contents of the

file selected before sending the file to the CNC.

After pressing Start, the CNC should now receive the data file selected. In the example

above, file data contained in MOLD.TXT will be sent to the CNC. When the

transmission is complete, the display will return to the main menu. On some machines,

the operator may have to press cancel to return to the main menu after transmission of a

file.
