the only issue with drip feed that can be a pain is upload time on large files with a lot of tight moves. your upload time can exceed cycle time machine could be in a hold if buffer emptys to fast
I believe that ajax has a 1 mb file size limit unless you upgrade to the unlimited file size option which cost around $1400. With the standard 1mb limit could you still drip feed a large program , or is your only option to run a large program to fork out the $$$ for the upgrade?

1M is the limit.
I do not believe the controller supports dripfeed. Someone prove me wrong on this, but I haven't found it yet...
Control does not drip feed.
Hello I don't know whether its possible but you are probably using an outside source from a cad cam program is it possible to load it onto a cd and run it from the cd drive through the controller ? Cheers Colin
That works only if the program is less than 1 meg.
<1meg, load & run.
>1meg, unlock, load & run.
cannot drip feed.
Can run multiple programs that are each under 1M.
Any chance you can trick the control with subprogram calls with no return, as in missing the M99? You might run into a limit for excessive subroutine nesting eventually, but you might sneak a few megs in that way![]()
First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

As the last line of the program, you can call another program.
just a straight call, no subroutine stack or nesting.
