    Predator DNC not closing thread after transfer from Predator to CNC machine

    Predator DNC not closing thread after transfer from Predator to CNC machine. The program goes through, it's present on the CNC. However, the transfer arrow is displayed next the machine icon in Predator. This creates a problem because when the machinist try to upload from the same CNC to Predator it doesn't work. He was to log into Predator and cancel the transfer then upload works fine. What should I look for first?

    Also, the problem is intermitten too, sometimes it transfers completely and sometime it stucks open.

    You could check to make sure you program is properly formatted for the CNC. More than likely, there is data (spaces, comments, other non-readable characters) after the M30, precent sign. If you remove this, then Predator will understand no other data is to be transmitted to the machine.

    The other option, add a "clean code" object into the Send command you are using and select - send % to % only. This will remove the characters for you automatically.

    Hope this helps but if not, give us a ring and we can help narrow down the problem.
