PCMCIA transfer: select file by program number (18i MB)

When transferring programs from PCMCIA card, is it possible by some parameter change to use filename (file number) as input parameter, and not the running file number? See attachment.

Thank you.

If the filename matches the program number (with no extension, on my machine) you can transfer just like RS232.

I save the program to card, with no extension, then with input device set to 4, in edit mode on program list page, type:

Oxxxx <read> <exec>

COPYING A FILE STORED IN THE MEMORYCARD USING FILE NAME

The following operation will read the file with name TESTPROG
from the memory card and will save it as program number 1234 in
the CNC memory:
• Select the EDIT mode on the MOP panel.
• Press the PROG key on the MDI panel.
• Press the next menu soft key (>).
• Press the soft key CARD.
• Press the soft key OPRT.
• Press the soft key N READ (name read).
• Type TESTPROG and press the soft key F NAME.
The complete file name along with extension, if any, is required to be typed.
• Type 1234 and press the soft key O SET.
• Press the soft key EXEC.

Repeat the last three steps to copy more files. Finally, press
the CAN soft key to cancel the current mode and go to the
previous menu.

The method works on 0iC. There may be some difference on other control versions.

Yes, thanks! It has been so long I had forgotten this method.
