4.8.1.2
Code 141: Load Configuration File from USB Flash Drive
This code allows you to load your configuration file from a USB flash drive to your machine’s compact
flash drive. The configuration file consists of items such as calibration, backlash constants, ball lock
locations, base tool length and tool changer height. This code is useful when a computer module or
compact flash card has been replaced, and you want to restore a machine to its previous state.
In order to load the files correctly on the TMC, you must have the file
name will be of the format “RMX
Con
figuration Machine ID” where machine ID is the number of the
TMC.
4.8.1.3
Code 142: Save Configuration File to USB Flash Drive
This code allows you to save your configuration file to a USB flash drive. The configuration file consists of
items such as calibration, backlash constants, ball lock locations, base tool length and tool changer
height. This code is used when a computer module or compact flash card needs to be replaced. This
stores the configuration file from the machine’s compact flash drive to a portabl
e USB flash drive. It is a
good idea to do this code after the machine is initially setup so these values can be saved and used in the
future. If the computer or compact flash card fails, then you will not have the ability to save the
configuration file and the machine will need to be re-setup when the computer or compact flash drive is
replaced.

teristics. It is set at the factory by
running a ballbar plot using a measurement probe device, such as one made by Renishaw, and adjusted
to obtain minimal error. It is not recommended to change the values unless told to do so by a service
representative.
4.8.2.4
Code 400: Update Foreign Language MLS Files
If you have received a foreign language update for your machine, you can put it on a USB flash drive,
and enter this service code to update your control.
