Restart a Transmission

This section describes how to restart a transmission. Restarting a transmission requires user access.

Restart can only be used if the current transmission is paused.

For information on pausing transmissions, please refer to Pause a Transmission.

Restart From Current Position

Restart transmission from where the transmission was paused.

Restart From Beginning Of File

Restart transmission from start of the file.

Restart From Line Number

Use this option to restart from a specific line number. If the requested line number is greater than the number of lines in the file, an error is logged, and the port remains paused.

Select line number.

Restart At Block Number

Use this option to restart from a specific block number. If the requested block number is not found, an error is logged, and the port remains paused.

If your machine uses block numbers in the format "N1234", you do not have to specify N.

Select block number

Restart From Previous Tool change

Use this option to restart from the previous tool change. The server will restart the transmission from the line containing the tool change, i.e. the first line transmitted will contain a tool change and or tool load command, depending on the port configuration.

If a "M6" style tool load command is used for this port, the server will restart the transmission from the line containing the tool load command.

If the tool load command ("M6") and the tool change command ("T010101") are on the same line, the server will restart the transmission from that line.

Restart From Tool Change

Use this option to restart from a specific tool number. The server will scan for the requested tool number from the beginning of the file, if the tool is used multiple times, transmission will be restarted from the point where the tool is first used. If the requested tool number is not found, the port will remain paused.

The server will restart the transmission from the line containing the tool change, i.e. the first line transmitted will contain a tool change and or tool load command, depending on the port configuration.

If a "M6" style tool load command is used for this port, the server will restart the transmission from the line containing the tool load command.

If the tool load command ("M6") and the tool change command ("T010101") are on the same line, the server will restart the transmission from that line.

If your machine uses tool numbers in the format "T010101", you do not have to specify T, but you must specify "010101", specifying only "01" will not find the correct tool (if any).

Select tool number

In the Restart At Line Number, Block Number, or Tool change dialogs, you can press the drop down button, to recall previous values (as shown below).

Select line number

Not all protocols support Restart Transmission.
