Understanding file format

[osaris]

Hi all,

I'm new to Mazak programming and I need to understand some basis about file format :

- on Mazak there's EIA and MAZ file
- our FAO, Goelan, build EIA file
- I have some pbb file

I really don't undestand the difference between all these file formats and how to put pbb file on Mazak. We use wireless to transfer program file directly from and to T_Direct Mode Programs directory. Is it ok ?

Also, where can I find the free mazatrol file viewer ?

Regards,

Osaris

T_Direct_Mode_Programs folder is for running in TAPE mode, if you want them in memory use data I/O and transfer them with a floppy/USB or ethernet and put them in Machine_Programs folder

Ok thanks but I still have pbb file backuped on our server and I still don't understand where to put there to run the program on the machine ?

same folder, i'm not exactly positive but i think that is your Set-up information that corresponds with the same program, on the matrix it's a .STP file extension.
