characters to start and stop data transmission. Software flow control is the

preferred and easiest method to implement. This method is recommended.

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

has been 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 so the file can be viewed when view the file using 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 set 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.
