Auto Receive dialog

When the DNC server is receiving a NC program from the CNC, auto receive is used to determine the name of the file, and the directory where the file should be saved.

Example: If the DNC is configured to look for a program name at the beginning of the file, in the format Oxxxx, where xxxx is the program name, and it receives the following NC program:

Then it would extract the program name, in this case 1234, and format the filename to something like: $DATA\PRG1234.NC.

You can have several different auto receive sets, each set with different parameters for program name extraction, filename creation, destination directory etc.
