conversational to g-code?

[foxvalley]

Hey there. Does anybody know how to convert a milltronics conversational program into a readable and editable g-code programming. I know it saves as both when you save the conversational it also saves a g-code, but it is full of unfimiliar jargon and I cant edit it manually. Any help would be great. Thanks.

When you create a conversational program, you get the P#### file which is a machine language file that is not editable by the average user. You also create the O### file wihch is an ASCII file that is editable with almost any word processor.

The code in the O#### file is a combination of standard G and M codes, X Y and Z positions, parametric statements with variables, and references to the canned cycles found in the CYCLE.DAT file which are also parametric.

This can make the O#### file a little difficult to decipher.

You CAN edit the O#### file, just be careful. Be aware that if/when you edit the conversational file, it will over-write the O### file and you will lose the changes you made to it.

Of course, you can create the O#### file directly to do whatever you want.
