Externally created program files that are read into the NC via the RS-232-C must be present
in punch tape format.
The following additional rules apply for the name of a file in punch tape format:
● The program name must begin with "%":
● The program name must have a 3-character identifier:
Examples:
● %_N_SHAFT123_MPF
● %Flange3_MPF
Note
The name of a file stored internally in the NC memory starts with "_N_".
