Working with the Programming Station
Working with the Programming Station
The Programming Station allows you to work with the TNC as
with any other TNC, but without the machine operating
modes. The TE 400 L keyboard unit provides the Same
arrangement of keys as the Standard keyboard, however with
the addition of soft keys for selecting functions that appear at
the bottom of the PC Screen.
All entries for TNC programming are made on the TE 400 L
keyboard unit. The PC keyboard serves only for switching
between DOS Operation and TNC programming, and for
leaving the Programming Station mode.
Batch files for starting the Programming Station
Your C:\PP directory contains the files PP.EXE, PPCOMI .BAT,
and PPCOMZ.BAT. A batch file (PPCOMI .BAT or
PPCOM2,BAT) calls the program PP.EXE and gives it
Parameters that it needs to Start the Programming Station.
