Mach 2 Program Question?

[qsacracer]

Does Mach 2 read Fanuc 6M type formats...I am in a cnc programming class that teaches this format....I know Haas is a little different as some others
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE...

I tried to insert the code into Mach2 and saw an elevated rectangle. Somehow I dont think that is what the code should show.?
Why dont you download the mach2 demo and give it a test. It will display 100 lines of code without a need to buy it.

[qsacracer]

can you use mach 2 as a simulator if its not hooked up to a machine.....I have tried but can't get it to work.......

[kdoney]

You have to go into config/input pins and change the emergency stop pin to active low. That way you can reset without having anything hooked up.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it works fine now...had to work offline under the operator tab...I ran the program fine...its a 3 inch square part with another square a circle and a diamond..all in .100 steps...thanks for the help

It's 1000 lines, isn't it?

[HomeCNC]

Yes, 1000 lines is the test version.
