Problem- Hyperterminal

[bgmnn]

When I send data from the CNC, Fanuc 6MA control, to the PC, it appears with black squares in the text as well as unfamiliar characters.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

If most of the characters are legible then most likely the baud rate is correct, do you have receive set for 8 char, no Parity, maybe?
You may be better of using cadem http://www.cadem.com/free_dnc_drip_f..._machining.htm its free.
I find Hyperterminal to be a PITA.

I am away from the machine now, so am unable to double check settings.

The shop does not have internet access.

I forgot to include the pdf.

Is the .pdf for Hyperterminal or cadem?

Its from Cadem but the machine parameters and baud rates etc apply to both.

Is 2400 baud the recommended rate? I have it set at 4800 now.

If it is working OK now from PC to control OK then leave it at that.
Double check the machine parameters.
