characters.

Use only letters and numbers in a filename.

Examples:    TEST1

{          Error help for olprog
|TRUNCATED A|
Not enough room for program

Your CNC program is too large to fit into the
available memory. Therefore, it has been
incompletely loaded, and you should bear this
in mind whilst editing it.

If this error persists your computer will
need a memory upgrade.
|READ ERR A|
Program load error

A disc error has occurred whilst loading your
CNC program.

You should check for faults on your floppy or
hard disc. The DOS CHKDSK utility will do this
for you.
|NO LOAD FILE A|
New program

A program of the name you have given does not
exist on disc.

A blank program has been created in memory so
that you can begin typing in a brand new
program.

The name you have just given will be retained
for use when saving your program.
|NO MERGE FILE A|
CNC block not found

The CNC program you wanted to merge into your
current program cannot be found on disc.
|CANT SAVE PROG A|
Cannot save program

Your program cannot be saved due to a disc
fault.

Use the DOS utility CHKDSK to check your disc
for faults.
|OPT SHORT A|
Options incomplete

It was not possible to load the entire contents
of your options file.

You may either have a faulty disc or not enough
memory.
|OPT LOAD ERR A|
Options file not found

There is no options file of the given name on
disc.

Try again with a different name.
|OPT SAVE ERR A|
Cannot save options

The current options cannot be saved in a file.

This may mean that your disc has become faulty
or that you are trying to overwrite a read-only
file.

Use the DOS utility CHKDSK to check your disc
for faults.
|CANT CH OPTION A|
Cannot change option

There is not enough memory to change this
option.

If this fault persists you should consider a
memory upgrade.
|PRINT ERR A|
Print error

A device error ocurred during printing.

If you are sending the print to a file then
this indicates a disc fault.

When printing to a DOS device this indicates
that DOS has returned an error.

When printing to an RS232 serial port this
indicates a transmission error.
|CANT PRINT A|
Cannot print

This means that the printing device for which
you are configured does not exist.

If you are directing the print to a file then
you have a disc fault, or you are trying to
overwrite a read-only file.
|NO LINE ROOM A|
No room for edit

There is not enough memory left for the editor
to save the line currently being edited.

Some operations  cannot take
place when this happens.

Remove some characters from the line and try
again.

If this error repeatedly occurs then you may
have to upgrade the quantity of memory in your
computer.
|NO COPY ROOM A|
No room for copy

There is not enough space left in the editor to
allow you to copy the marked block.

This will typically happen when copying a large
block.
|NO MOVE ROOM A|
No room for move

There is not enough space left in the editor to
allow you to move the marked block.

This will only wh-n moving from the end of a
large CNC program.

M98  Subprogram call 1/2

M98 causes another program to be executed.

The "P" value specifies the program number and
the number of times to execute it.

The rightmost 4 digits are the program number.

The digits to the left are the number of
repetitions.
#Other CNC instructions#CNC A
|M98 B|
M98  Subprogram call 2/2

There can be up to 999 repetitions, if the value
is omitted it is called once.

|M99 A|
M99  Subprogram Exit  1/2

Returns control to the program that called
the current program.

If a "P" value is specified then execution
begins from the block with the same "N" number,
otherwise it is from the block after the
subprogram call.
#Other CNC instructions#CNC A

|S RPM A|
RPM Spindle Speed  1/2

The "S" value specifies the new RPM speed
for the spindle.

If the spindle is on then it will now spin
at this new speed.
#Constant Surface Speed#S SURFACE A
#Other CNC instructions#CNC A
{
|S RPM B|
RPM Spindle Speed  2/2

Example:  M03 S1200
sets the spindle speed to 1200 RPM and
turns the spindle on.

Example:   G01 X10 Z1 S1000
sets the spindle speed to 1000 RPM and
then performs the linear move.
{
{
|S SURFACE A|
Constant Surface Speed

The "S" value specifies the surface
speed of the tool.  This is in metres
(or feet) per minute.

To keep to this surface speed the spindle
is continously updated.
#RPM Spindle Speed#S RPM A
#Other CNC instructions#CNC A
{
{
|S FEED A|
Feedrates  1/3

Except for the threading commands the "F"
value refers to the feedrate.

There are 2 modes, feed per minute
and feed per revolution.
#Other CNC instructions#CNC A
{
|S FEED B|
Feedrates  2/3

FEED PER MINUTE

This is the default mode.
When an "F" is on a block the current feed
rate is changed to its value.

G98 sets feed per minute mode.

Example:  G98 F50.0
sets a feedrate of 50 mm per minute.
{
{
|S FEED C|
Feedrates  3/3

FEED PER REVOLUTION

In this mode the feed rate is set to the
spindle speed multiplied by the current
feed per revolution value "F".

G99 sets feed per revolution mode.

Example:  G99
G01 Z-10.0 S100 F1.5
sets the feedrate to 150 mm per minute.
{
{
|XZPOS A|
Positions 1/3

X Axis Positioning.

The "X" value is for an absolute position.

The "U" value is for a position relative
to the current position.

If diameter programming is active then
these values refer to the diameter instead
of the radius, this is the default.
#Other CNC instructions#CNC A
{
|XZPOS B|
Positions 2/3

Z Axis Positioning.

The "Z" value is for an absolute position.

The "W" value is for a position relative
to the current position.
{
|XZPOS C|
Positions 3/3

Arc Centre Position.

Instead of the arc radius "R" the arc centre
can be specified relative to the arc start.

The "I" and "K" value place the arc centre on
the X and Z axis respectively.

If a value is not specified it defaults to 0.

The "I" value is specified as a radius.
