I have been using the RS232 port on Win 7 machine to down load posts from hxmxpress to my 2006 minimill without a problem. I now want to DNC the programs as they are getting bigger and bigger. The Haas is set up for DNC per manual. When I go to setup the port settings in hsmxpress under " flow control" I can choose either;
Hardware and software or Software or None. If I select None, I can further choose DTR (on or off) and/or RTS (on or off). Nothing in there like Xon/Xoff or Xmodem.
The port setting choices on my Win 7 machine are Xon/Xoff, Hardware, None.
The choices on the mill are Xmodem, Xon/xoff, DC codes, RTS/CTS.
How do I set this up?
Yesterday I had everything talking to each other under DNC but an error message came up about Line numbers. So I edited all the line numbers out. The post ran for so many lines (100's or more) and an error message halted the run with "bad number" or something . So now I have miles of code with a "bad number" in it and no way of knowing what line it's on!
As I write this I now realize I didn't write down my settings for transfereing smaller files and have changed things around...............
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
