Program Library Clean-up ???(Do's and dont') Help !!

[chipsahoy]

Have A 88 control.. "Vintage "

Looking to download all thats in memory, so that I dont forget anything.
Is there a way to do this??? At one time without doing it one bye one

Secondly, Do any of these programs have any bearing on the opearation of the machine??..Do they get called up for any reason..Otherwise I have a bunch of space being consumed !!!

Also clearing of memory.. Is that a prudent thing to do???

Also where on the control does it list the memory in K bites etc..

Thanks Chips!!

ME in the command mode will tell you how much memory you have.

[chipsahoy]

I punched that in and it showed 25% free.. How about if I want to see total size of the system..

you can wipe the mem with a "RI" comand it will ask for three options ! only tool offsets,2 only fixture offsets or 3 the entire memory offsets and programs

i used this and i wiped it clean as if it was a new.... you can due a "pr" comand after to to verify

Perfect thats what I shall do.. So how do I know the size of my Drive???

The 88HS does not have a hard drive. Go to Fadal's website and you can download PDF files of all of their machine documentation, including the controller.

All of the CPU boards come with 38k of memory and depending on which CPU board you have in the controller you can expand it up to 422K, or up to 16mb in the case of the 1400-5 CPU board.

ME shows you total memory and % avaliable

[chipsahoy]

For some reason it only shomed % available..

Maybe my machine is different being a 94.

Memory is handled through EPROMS on the boards. There was a thread concerning Fadal memory expansion boards not too long ago. Would be worth checking out.
