This is very rare and only applicable to the oldest of CNC machines where transfer is very very slow. It may be that your CNC is so old that a Data Packet Delay is not sufficient and so you have to delay EACH CHARACTER. If you need to send a lot of the same characters, for example some CNC may need 200 nulls as a header, then the shorthand notation is #200,0 You can send any combination and number off. If you click the button at the side, you can select a character from a list of all possible characters and how many of these you want to send. For example 0,0,0,0,2,37 would send 4 nulls a STX and a %.

To send a series of these control-codes you enter the numerical ASCII value separated by commas. ProDNC gets around this by letting you put in the ASCII equivalent of these codes, ProDNC converts them and sends them before it sends the main body of the file. The only problem with this is that as often as not, these control codes are non-printable characters and so you cant type them at the keyboard. These control codes basically tell the CNC control that a file is about to come its way. Many CNC machines need you to send a series of control codes before you send a file. However once its been successfully setup its much better to hide them so that things don't get cluttered on-screen. Whilst you are setting up your DNC connections it is useful to be able to see the actual data come in and out. If you experience problems, try the Poll Port method. Therefore, in theory, the interrupt method is more reliable.

Then if an XOFF is received (or the CTS pin goes low) the serial buffer/com port should respond immediately, even if only part of the block or data packet has been sent, since an interrupt is raised and data cannot (should not) be sent out. Interrupt : - The interrupt method uses the Windows serial driver.

This method will send the full block or data packet before checking for the handshaking status, and so in theory is less reliable than the interrupt method below. This method is to be used if you have problems handshaking using the interrupt method since it bypasses the Windows serial driver.
If you select Poll Port, then ProDNC checks the receive buffer or the state of the hardware pins, just before it sends the file block or file data packet. Poll Port : - This option specifies the way that ProDNC invokes and checks the type of handshaking. When this option is checked, the RTS line is set to high (on) when the port is opened, and low (off) when the port is closed. Typically, the RTS signal that requests permission to transmit data is sent from a computer to the CNC. I select either the Romi or the FP4NC and the blue tooth does the rest.Determines whether to enable the Request To Send (RTS) line.

As soon as i post a file i t opens a text editor designed for a machine tool (has one button search for speeds and feeds, adn tool changes as well as a compare feature that lists the min and max for all tool moves.saves lots of scrap) Once i look the program over a single touch of a software button in the text editor and i get a dialog box asking what machine i want to send the file to. It worked fine, but now for small file (non DNC ) transfers i use the built in file transfer program withinb Surfcam.
Bit tough on the software as it is only in German.wish Martin or Stephan had been around when i was working all this out. Works fine now with Windows back in the primary. Finally got Beetz to give me a bata Windows version of their DNC softwar. That worked but it made my SurfCam cranky having to run under win2000 as a secondary partition. Made the computer run with dual operating systems having DOS run as the primary (the only it will work i think). When i ran under Win.95 everything was fine. My original DNC program ("Auto-DNC by Beetz software in Germany) ran in DOS only.
