4.1.8.2 How to divide an NC program into several files
In buffer mode operations, the host computer must previously divide an
NC program into several files and create a list of these files arranged in
the sequence in which they are to be transferred.
Example) Dividing an NC program into three files
As shown above, the NC program is divided into three files (file1, file2,
and file3). These file names are specified in the file list (named
O1234).
CAUTION
In the above example, the original NC program is not
divided in the middle of a block. In reality, however,
the NC program can be divided in the middle of a
block. In this case, make sure that no extra character
is inserted at the end of any of the resulting files.
Otherwise, an unexpected operation may occur when
the NC program is executed. Be very careful when
creating and editing NC programs in the host
computer.
