Configuration > Machine configuration > Machine monitor

This real-world example describes a machine that has a probe to measure components after they have been machined.

The machine has a 25 pin RS232 port which we have connected to a laptop using a 9 pin RS232, and have been able to receive data.

You will need DNC Precision with machine monitor function enabled. The input/output port setting on the SETTINGS page of OFFSETS key will need to be set to 0 (zero) to point output to the RS232.

Type and start the demo program below. Don’t forget POPEN and PCLOS top AND BOTTOM.
