Fundamental Principles of NC Programming

2.1 Name of an NC program
Files in punch tape format
Externally created program files that are read into the NC via the V.24 interface 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 "%":
%<Name>
• The program name must have a 3-character identifier:
%<Name>_xxx
Examples:
• %_N_SHAFT123_MPF
• %Flange3_MPF
Note
The name of a file stored internally in the NC memory starts with "_N_".
