Set

Note: In most cases you only need to specify a Program name start tag, and check the fields Accept digits and/or Accept letters.

Program name start tag

Use this field to specify the start trigger. The server will look for the start trigger in the file, and when found, check that a valid program/path name is specified following the trigger.

Maximum program name length

Use this field to specify the maximum length of the program/path name. This value does not include the length of the start trigger, or any characters between the start trigger and program/path name. If more than the specified number of program/path name characters are found, the additional characters will be ignored.

Specifying a value of 0, will disable name length restriction, allowing a maximum of 255 characters in the program/path name.

Accept digits (0-9)

Check this field to allow digits in the program/path name.

Accept letters (a-z and A-Z)

Check this field to allow letters (a-z and A-Z) in the program/path name.

Accept path delimiter

Check this field to allow the path delimiter character to be included in the program/path name. The path delimiter is defined on the 'Machine Type' setup sheet.

Accept environment character

Check this field to allow the environment character to be included in the program/path name. The environment character is defined on the 'Machine Type' setup sheet.

Accept other characters

Use this field to allow additional characters to be included in the program/path name.

Ignore characters

Use this field to specify characters that should be ignored in the program/path name.

Ignore white spaces

Check this field to ignore white spaces between the start trigger and the program/path name.

Must be at start of line

Check this field if the start trigger must be at the start of the line.

Must be at end of line

Check this field if the program/path name must be at the end of the line.

Specify using advanced trigger

Check this field if you want to specify the trigger using the advanced format. Please refer to the on-line documentation for additional information on triggers.

Advanced trigger

Use this field to specify the trigger using the advanced format. Please refer to the on-line documentation for additional information on triggers.

Test set

Use this field to test this auto receive set. If a valid trigger is found, the resulting program and filename is shown below.

To test the parameters specified above, you can enter a sample NC program in this text field, and verify that the correct program name is extracted.

Program name

This field shows the program name extracted from the test data entered above

Filename

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