    Cimco

    We use cimco edit to transfer our programs to the machines. Is there a way to reset offset values during the transfer? I want to know if i can send machine variables through cimco.

    Yes, of course you can load offsets in a program - but not reset them automatically as a function during the file transfer (atleast not that I've ever heard of).

    You would typically have this info as the header detail with the correct parameter #'s stated with what they are to be set to, so when the program runs it loads your offsets into the registers.

    Personally I like to add a line with a block skip before the offsets, so that it only gets read when the block skip is on...
