OUTPUT CODE

Select EIA (RS-244A) or ASCII (RS-358-B) as output codes for devices
with data lengths configured as 8 bit. The output code can not be
configured for data lengths configured as 7 bits and is displayed as N/A.

AUTO FILENAME

This parameter is valid only if you are inputting part programs to the
control from a tape reader (see DEVICE for details). Use this parameter
only if your tape contains more than one part program.

AUTO FILENAME lets you automatically assign program names to all
programs or key in or read the filenames for each program individually as
they are copied into memory from a multiple program tape.

Setting

Result

Yes

The first program on a multiple program tape must have its program name keyed in manually, or there
must be a program name as the first block of the first program. The control automatically creates
program names for successive programs on that tape by incrementing the program name by one as
each new program is read. The control ignores all program names that exist as the first block of the
program for any program read after the first program on tape (though these blocks are still copied into
memory, they are not used as the program name). The control generates an error if when reading
program names into memory, the control needs to increment a program name that is greater than
99999.

Important:

If the first program name is to be read from tape (not manually keyed in), the first block

of the first program must contain a program name in one of the following formats: Oxxxxx (ASCII),
Nxxxxx or :xxxxx where xxxxx is any valid integer.

No

The program name for each program on a multi-program tape must be entered from the keyboard or
located as the first block of each program after the program start code on the tape. If no program name
is found in the first block and no program name is keyed in, the control generates an error.

Important:

If the program name is to be read from tape (not manually keyed in), the first block of

the program must contain a program name in one of the following formats: Oxxxxx (ASCII), Nxxxxx or
:xxxxx where xxxxx is any valid integer.

STOP PRG END

This parameter is available only if you have selected a tape reader as your
device (see DEVICE for details). It determines if the tape reader is to stop
at the end of each program or continue reading until the end-of-tape code is
