Fig. 6-17 Input of files
•
Press the COPY softkey.
The V24 interface is initialized and the data input is started. The files being
read in are stored in the selected workpiece or in the Clipboard. The name of
the file being read in is displayed in the message line.
When data are read in in punchtape format, the punchtape identifiers, such as
%MPFxxxx are deleted and converted into the file name.
The Terminate V24 menu item is also enabled. The data transmission can be
cancelled at any time by pressing the appropriate softkey.
The following points should be noted with reference to data input:
•
Password-protected data, such as IKA data, GIA data and machine data, are
not copied into the specified workpiece, but are always stored in the
Clipboard.
•
Files of the type UMS cannot be read in using the data manager; the data
transmission is cancelled with the error message "Illegal object type". UMS
files can be read in using the PCIN data transfer program.
•
The machine manufacturer can choose between three different modes:
−
Overwrite mode: existing files on the destination directory are always
overwritten without prompting the user for confirmation.
−
Append mode: files which are read in are always appended onto
existing files.
If the program being read in is of the type MPF or SPF, it is not possible
to append the files. Instead, the "V24 data input" dialog box appears
and the "overwrite" and "skip" modes can be selected.
