Newbie: E100L Rs232c output of IGF files

[mjmabs]

Have a Okuma Captain-L370M with a OSP-E100L trying to setup RS232C input/output with Cimco DNC-Max v8.

Have been able to successfully offload a .min file but when I try to offload a .IGF file I get "Error 9071 A number of a letter in 1line are over 155. '0000000000000.."

I have tried changing the Tape Parameters, CN0: settings but nothing seems to correct issue, can someone provide some assistance or guidance.

igf files are binary files and maybe dnc not permitted transfer

Kurmay is correct. IGF files contain a larger character set than ASCII code can handle so they cannot be transferred via RS232. Not to DOS floppies either. They must be offloaded only in Okuma format onto a floppy.

Best regards,
