eztrak programming probs

[premierpatterns]

Can anybody help me with this ...i use mastercam mill8 and when i save the file to the floppy the eztrak comes up saying buffer overload unless the file size is below 150kb which is tiny and cant give me the finishing required on the job
How do i drip feed to the machine?....
Would the buffer be increased if i were to change the ram memory or is it more complicated than that ? not even sure if this is possible

second problenis that even when i get the program to load from mastercan sometimes it says error line 170 exceeds travel limits but it clearly does not ...any ideas?

im a novice at all this

regards

Only the 3 axis traks can DNC.
The program memory is on the BMDC. Cannot be changed.

thanks for the reply but it is 3 axis machine i have....any more comments would be appreciated ...tried another program today and still got the buffer overload warning up on the screen , it still let me start the program but im not surte if it will run right through as its not finished yet ..i will let you know the result

If this helps the procedure on a 3 axis with the later software is:

1st + for Run
2nd F1 set option
3rd 4 DNC
4th + Do Set
5th 1 to run from disk – navigate to file - + (plus) to Load - wait



For the second problem check the Rapid in the program you created with a text editor. They could have a large X, Y, or a Z10.

thanks for all your help and i can nw drip feed from the floppy drive ....tried to drip feed direct from a remote comp and had no success...we use mastercam mill8 here stil trying hard to get to grips with it really .....normaly we draw in autocad then import the drawing to mastercam but were having great difficulty trying to get mcam to read the surfaces at times... any ideas on both these points?
