    NcPlot sub call

    I'm having a problem with ncplot calling subs listed as M98(C:\filename.nc)
    Seems as though it interprets ( ) as note I have tried changing notes to [] but no help is there a way around this through a macro or something else or is this limitation of the current software.

    Hi,

    NCPlot can not call an M98 sub program directly from the file name like that. It expects to see a program number in the format M98 P1234 where "1234" is the program number. Actually, it can recognize a few different variations on that format but it always expects to see a program number. The subprogram setup page (under the Setup menu) also can be used to assign a file to a specific program number.

    Thanks,
    Scott
