We have an Esprit post for our Hardinge Quest 51 lathe that seems to be missing something. When we try to post code for a relatively simple program none of the canned cycles (thread,rough turn) come through. I don't speak post editing but I noticed that in the post folder all of the posts have two files, an .ASC file and a .DAT file. The post for the Quest does not have the .DAT file.Do any of you know how the .DAT file is created or where we might find one. I'm sure that it needs to match the .ASC file somehow but beyond that I'm lost. We are not on Maintenance with Esprit and it is not our main programming software but we do use every couple of years or so to create the odd lathe program.
This particular job we are doing in Pencil Cam but it would be nice for next time if this worked correctly.
Updating Esprit is out of the question as we can't justify the need based on the limited usage.
The complete post we need is "HardingeQ51Lathe" both .ASC and .DAT files.
Thanks
