fanuc Oi-TC PCMCIA CF CARD won't load file to controller
I have a lathe with a fanuc Oi-TC controller, machine was purchased used and originally communicated with rs232
i have purchased a pcmcia to cf card adapter, cf card 128mb transend industrial CF220i
the controller can see the files on the card
i have been able to delete files on the card from the controller
i have formatted the card using the controller
i/o para is set to 4 (memory card)
process i am trying with no great success is below
>system>all i/o>card>oprt>Nread>fset(O1997.txt)>Oset (1997)>EXEC
i get a breif flash of lsk and input but no other msgs and the file isn't in my controller directory, getting stuck and playing around i also tried Fread
machine is in edit mode, key is in edit position (tried both positions)
Any suggestions here would be much appreciated

and just like that after you ask a question the answer finds you,
i did try quite a number of things but im 90% confident the change i made to make this work was one of the following below
tv check set to 0
or i feel more likely
my solidworks code did not have % symbols at the start and end of the .txt file, all i did was add these at the start and end and the file uploaded to the controller no problems, really hope this can assist someone in the future

Hello,
Make a new program in the control,
Then in edit mode make it like this.
O1234; (call mem card prog)
;
M198 P0001;
;
M30
Name your program on the CF card "O0001" and make it have to extension, so its just a "File" on the pc.
This way you can run huge programs and its the preferred way to run from cf.
Make sure IO is on 4 in settings.
