OUTPUT CODE
Select either EIA (RS-244A) or ASCII (RS-358-B) as output codes for 8
bit data lengths. Selecting 7 bit data length sets this output code to “N/A”
since EIA and ASCII do not apply to this type.
AUTO FILENAME
This parameter is valid only if you are inputting part programs to the
control from a tape reader (refer to DEVICE for details). This parameter is
used only if your tape contains more than one part program.
AUTO FILENAME lets you either automatically assign program names to
all programs or key in or read the filenames for each program individually
as they are copied into memory from a multiple program tape.
