Another question in regards to machine position.

After loading my programs I would like to double check my "work offset" and my tool offsets.

What is the small program that I can run to check them?

I am now able to read files directly from the mem card. I had to change a setting in the param...

This happens when I try to find the file through the RMT selector switch on the machine.

It should search the mem card directory correct?

I will try these settings tommorow at work.

Once the changes are made what should I do after that?

Will I see dnc as an option on the display? Or is there another path I must go down?

How do I drip feed from the card in the controller? This is what I started with but I found no dnc option in the controller

Im sorry I thought I saw tape mode but I was mistaken. If I dont have tape mode what are the other options?

Is there possible some other wording on this controller?

The controller is an oi-mb.

In my case since I am using the oi-mb controller,How do I activate this parameter 138.7?

And in the case of drip freeding. Is there any special software I need in order to drip feed?

Thank you

I will try drip feeding first

Yes it has tape mode.

Can you give me some head start steps to seeting it up.

As in

I followed these steps and did not see any dnc option.

Maybe this machine does not have this option.

Is there any other way to run large files other that through the Memcard?

I have tried the steps but I never saw any DNC option.

Maybe this machine does not have this option.

Is there any other way to run large files. Or am I stuck with what the machine has.

I belive that the memory may be full on the machine. So I have a couple of questions.

How do I remove the old programs?

How do I know how much capacity the machine has?

Can I run the program...

I will try the advice you gave today when I go in to work. Then I will let you know the out come.
