Auto Receive dialog

When the DNC server is receiving a NC program from the CNC, auto receive is used to determine the name of the file, and the directory where the file should be saved.

Example: If the DNC is configured to look for a program name at the beginning of the file, in the format Oxxxx, where xxxx is the program name, and it receives the following NC program:

O1234
N0010 G70 G75 G90
N0020 G0 T1 M6
N0030 G0 X46.217 Y48.833
N0040 S1552 M3
N0050 Z55. M08
N0060 G1 Z-3.9968 F9.9
...

Then it would extract the program name, in this case 1234, and format the filename to something like: $DATA\PRG1234.NC.

You can have several different auto receive sets, each set with different parameters for program name extraction, filename creation, destination directory etc.

Enable auto receive

Use this field to enable the auto receive feature. Auto receive is used to automatically determine where files received from the CNC should be saved on the server. You must configure one or more auto receive sets to activate this feature.

Ignore start/end triggers

Check this field if DNC-Max should look for remote request before a start trigger has been received.

Trigger look ahead (lines)

Use this field to specify the number of lines that DNC-Max should continue to scan for more triggers, after a trigger is found. Once a trigger is found, only triggers higher on the 'Set list' are evaluated.

Boxes

• Add
  Use this button to add a new auto receive set.
  The new set will contain default settings.
  
  
• Remove
  Use this button to remove a set.
  
  
• Copy
  Use this button to copy a set.
  If you have to create multiple sets with similar settings, use the Copy function to create new sets, after you have configured the first set.
  
  
• Rename
  Use this button to rename a set.
  You should use names that describe the function of the set. I.e. if you have a set configured to save files in a directory shared by multiple CNC machines, you could call it Shared.
  Depending on the setup of multiple sets, the order in which the incoming data is matched to the triggers can sometimes be relevant.
  To accommodate this it is possible to modify the set order. The topmost set is checked first.
• Down arrow
  Move a set down in list of sets.

Found in set

This field shows the name of the set that found a valid program name in the test data entered above.

Destination name

This field shows the program and path extracted from the test data entered above.
