Phoenix Link 367
Files
The Files setup parameter allows the user to indicate which file extensions will be recognized as
acceptable part program files for download by the link software and will be viewed at the control.
Once a file has been successfully saved on the control, it is assigned the “txt” file extension for use
internally on the control. The operator must be aware of this as part programs with the same
name, but different file extensions, will be overwritten during multiple file downloads. A
warning will be displayed at the control prior to a file being overwritten. Care must be taken when
downloading.
The list of acceptable part program types is listed in the lower half of the of the Files option box. The
checkmark () before the file extension indicates which selected file type will be displayed at the
control. Please note that the checkmark () in the file extension listing also indicates the file
extension which will be placed on a part program when uploading a file to the host.
The following options are available to define what part programs may be viewed at the control.
Show All Files
Enabling this feature allows all file types in the selected parts folder to be viewed at the control. A
checkmark () located before this feature indicates that it has been enabled.
Show Extension in Name
This feature allows the user to view the file extension as part of the name at the control. For the file
name “Job123.CNC”, the control would only display “Job123_CNC” in the filename location of the
download screen. The control would display “Job 123” if this feature was not enabled. This feature is
advantageous if more than one file has the same file name with different file extensions is being used.
A checkmark () located before this feature indicates that it has been enabled.
