ISO Options dialog

Filename

param

Extensions

Use this field to specify the extension(s) of files that the operator can transfer using manual transmission.

To specify multiple extensions separate them with a comma.

Using the wildcards * and ? is supported.

Leaving this field blank will allow the operator to send/receive all file types.

To allow files without extensions, specify a comma at the beginning.

If you do not select 'Limit operator access to $DATA', the operator is allowed to transfer files with other extensions than the ones specified here, but by default, only files with these extensions are visible.

Example: To allow all files with extensions .MZK and .MAZ, specify: MZK,MAZ

Example: To allow all files where the first letter of the extension is M, specify: M*

Example: To allow all files without an extension, or with the extension MZK, specify: ,MZK

param

Minimum filename length

Use this field to specify the minimum number of digits used when saving a program.

Ex.: If you specify 6, and the program number is 123, then it will be saved as '000123.nc'.

param

Filename prefix

Use this field to specify a filename prefix.

Example: If you specify 'PRG', the server will look for files named 'PRGnnnn.nc', where nnnn is the program number, and 'nc' is the selected extension.

Use this field to specify a prefix that should be added in front of the program name, when a program is saved on the server.

Example: If you specify suffix ISO programs will be saved as ISO1234.NC

When requesting a program using remote request, and the request specifies only digits, the requested file is assumed to have the specified filename prefix. If you specify a request containing letters, the filename prefix is not used.

Example: If you request program 1234, and the filename prefix is ISO the server sends the file ISO1234.NC.

Example: If you request program XYZ, the server sends the file XYZ.NC.

param

Filename suffix

Use this field to specify a filename suffix.

Example: If you specify 'PRG', the server will look for files named 'nnnnPRG.nc', where nnnn is the program number, and 'nc' is the selected extension.

Use this field to specify a suffix that should be added to the end of the program name.

Example: If you request program 1234, and the filename suffix is ISOMILL the server sends the file 1234ISOMILL.NC.

When requesting a program using remote request, and the request specifies only digits, the requested file is assumed to have the specified filename suffix. If you specify a request containing letters, the filename suffix is not used.

param

Use comment as program name

Check this field if the program comment should be used to generate the filename when receiving programs.

param

Use advanced trigger to get name

Check this field to specify an advanced trigger that should be used to extract the program name from the comment.

param

Change 'O' number to ':'

Check this field to change the O number of the transmitted file to ':'

Example O1234 is changed to :1234

Handling of % at start/end

param

Send at start of transfer

Use this field to specify the start of feed data that DNC-Max should send.

Most Mazak controls expect one or more ASCII 0 characters followed by % and LF.

param

Send at end of transfer

Use this field to specify the end of feed data that DNC-Max should send.

Most Mazak controls expect % followed by one or more ASCII 0 characters.

param

Remote request delay (sec)

Use this field to specify the remote request delay. The server will wait the specified time before sending a remote requested program.

param

Send from O-Number

Check this field to send from the first O/: number in the file.

param

Save % at start of file

Check this field to save a '%' at start of a received ISO program.

param

Save % at end of file

Check this field to save a '%' at end of a received ISO program.

param

Send with CR/LF

Check this field to send ISO files with CR/LF (13/10).

If not checked only \LF is sent.

param

Strip original %'s when sending

Check this to strip existing %'s signs in the file.

To keep the original file format, check this option and select 'Nothing' in the 'Send at start of transfer' and 'Send at end of transfer' fields above.

Additional request extensions

param

Additional extensions

Use this field to specify the extension(s) of files that should be monitored.

To specify multiple extensions separate them with a comma.

Using the wildcards * and ? is supported.

To allow files without extensions, specify a comma at the beginning.

Example: To scan files with extensions .ISO and .NC, specify: ISO,NC

Example: To scan files where the first letter of the extension is N, specify: N*

Example: To allow all files without an extension, or with the extension NC, specify: ,NC

To Scan all files, leave this field blank.

param

Also use these extensions when replacing files in request directories

When this option is selected, DNC-Max will look for programs with any of the specified extensions, when searching for files to replace in the request directories.

Example: If you have specified 'MZK' in the extension field on the 'Mazatrol Transfer' setup sheet, and you have specified 'MNC, GBM' in the 'Additional request extensions' field above, and you have selected the 'Replace if found in request directory' option. DNC-Max will first scan for any files matching the name of the received program in the specified request directories, using the extension MZK. If no file is found, it will scan the request directories for any files matching the received program name using the extensions MNC and GBM. The first file found that matches any of the additional extensions will be replaced with the received program.
