DNC Wizard
If you are unsure about your CNC baudrate
and parity protocol settings, and your CNCs
end of block characters, then ProDNC can easily
autodetect these out by using the DNC Wizard.
|
|
Step 1 : Select the CNC you want to
analyze...
|
Step 2 : ProDNC will automatically
detect all your PC serial ports. Simply select
the COM port you want to use.
|
Step 3 : You should now take a guess
at the CNC range. (ProDNC will cycle through
all ranges, its just quicker if you have a
rough idea)
The vast majority of CNC machines will fall
into the Average category, between 2400 and
9600 baud. Slow is between 150 and 1200 baud
(and in general is a much older CNC), whilst
the Fast category is between 19200 and 115200
baud (in general a much more modern CNC).
|
Step 4 : You should now send out a
file FROM YOUR CNC back to the computer and
let ProDNC cycle through the protocols, you
will see garbage data gradually be replaced
by legible data.
|
Step 5 : When detection has happened,
you will go to this screen. You can then click
"Store Settings Away" or click Cancel.
