TRAK LPM Programming, Safety, & Operating Manual
14.0 Program In/Out Mode
From the Select Mode screen, press the PROG IN/OUT softkey. The first screen you see
will ask:
"LIST SUPPORTED PROGRAMS ONLY?"
With a highlighted YES or NO.
Supported programs are part programs that can run on the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC. You
do not have to answer this question every time you are at this screen. Simply press the
softkey for the operation you want.
Select YES to only display the file extensions that the ProtoTRAK supports, such as PT4,
PT7, CAM, etc. Otherwise, select NO to view all the files that are in the specified path.
14.0.1 Filenames and File Extensions
Most places in the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC, we refer to the program or part. In Program
In/Out Mode, this program or part is called a file. Filenames are program names or part
names. They are the name you give to the programs you write on the ProtoTRAK PMX
CNC, plus a file extension. Although the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC can have program
names up to 20 characters that use letters and special symbols, most other CNC’s must
have file names that are eight or fewer characters using numbers only.
