Need Help!- CIMCO V.S. MASTERCAM OR LEGACY EDITOR

[CNC_BOB]

Hi guys,

I am trying to stream my program direct from MCX sithout using my "TELIX" communications software but so far, the only one that works is 'CIMCO" can anyone tell me if I am loosing any functionality by not using the "MASTERCAM" editor? any clues are greatly appreciated

I have been using the Cimco editor for many years.
The communications part is a "plain vanilla" ASCII terminal.
It works quite well for what you are trying to do.
Since it is sending the posted G-code, it has no "functionality".
It sends what Mcam posts, plain and simple.

thanks for that,
I am hearing more of the same that CIMCO is the way to go
