OCI Data Server CNC Commands

Publication 8520-6.6 - August 1999

TRANSFER_AMP_TO_PORTB (no argument)

Use this command to back up the current AMP configuration to a
device connected to the control’s port B. This will back up
configuration currently in RAM. This may or may not be the same
configuration stored in the control’s backup memory.

For example:

[TRANSFER_AMP_TO_PORTB]

writes the AMP configuration to the device connected to the
control’s port B. This backup file is not in a man–readable format.
If you require a man–readable version of AMP refer to the ODS
document utility. Use the command TRANSFER_AMP_FROM_
PORTB to retrieve an AMP configuration from a peripheral device.

Important: This command does not apply to the 9/PC CNC.

TRANSFER_HOMECAL_TO_PORTA (no argument)

Use this command to send the current home calibration data to a
printer or other device connected to the control’s port A. This will
print the home calibration data currently in RAM. This may or may
not be the same home calibration data stored in the control’s backup
memory.

For example:

[TRANSFER_HOMECAL_TO_PORTA]

prints the home calibration data to the device connected to the
control’s port A. You can only use this command to output home
calibration data to a printer.

Important: This command does not apply to the 9/PC CNC.
