Software File Relationships
Easicut is Eastman Technology’s Windows 95 based plot-
ter software. When opened, Easicut reads in several data
files to initialize the plotter’s settings. These data files are
ASCII text files with specific formats, which must be correct
to be read. Some files are edited through the Easicut Win-
dows 95 interface, while others may be accessed in MS-
DOS. All are located in the PLOTTER\PLOTTER directory.
Following is a short description and a chart of the various
files.
PLOTTER.KEY: required on all machines using a UIT, re-
quired on some older M90 models. Maps the keypad data
coming from the UIT.
DESIGN.CMD: the file containing a pattern’s coordinates
and commands read by PLOTTERW. Easicut updates
DESIGN.CMD every time the plotter operator loads a new
cut pattern. CMD is Eastman Technology’s proprietary file
format. Easicut to CMD automatically converts files gener-
ated in other formats when the plotter operator selects them.
MACHINE.INI: contains values pertaining to calibration, ve-
locity profiling, table dimensions, and layer to tool mapping.
Easicut writes to this file as changes are made in the Ma-
chine Setting window. MACHINE.INI is read by Easicut,
modified as necessary (for example, to accommodate a
change in material) and sent to PLOTTERW.
PLOTTER.SRV: optional. Used only on plotters with laser
cutting device. Contains default values for laser test firing
and troubleshooting.
PLOTTER.DRL: required only when <DRIL> function is called
by CMD file. Contains default values used by <DRIL> func-
tion when specified in CMD file.
MATERIAL.INI: contains tool control information relating to
different material types. Written to and accessed by Easicut.
