Entering the Data
The control will prompt the programmer for information about the selected part. The data is not checked for
consistency, so be careful to enter the numbers correctly. Once the information is entered, another prompt
displays asking the user where the G-code is to be placed. There are 4 options within this prompt:
1) SELECT/CREATE A PROGRAM
If selected, another window will open prompting the user to select a program name. Simply highlight the
desired name and press WRITE. This will cause VQC to output to the selected program. If the program already
contains G-code, VQC will output to the beginning before the existing G-code and will not pass any M30s. The
user also has the option to CREATE a new program by simply entering a program name using ‘O’. Then by
simply pressing WRITE again will cause VQC to output to the newly created program.
2) ADD TO CURRENT PROGRAM
If selected, the G-code generated by VQC will be inserted at the last position of the cursor within a program
before entering VQC. If the program was empty, then any M30s. in the G-CODE section of the VQC template
will be passed into the program. If the program contained anything, then NO M30s. will be passed.
3) MDI
If selected, the newly created VQC G-code will output to MDI. Note: Anything that may be in MDI will be
overwritten.
4) CANCEL
If selected, the window will close and the focus returns to the parameter list. Note: the UNDO and CANCEL
keys also perform this operation.
Additionally the program will be put into the Advanced Editor in order to double check the program. Verify the
program by first running it in Graphics mode.
