9.3.4 Executing a G-code program from the hard-disk or diskette/USB/network drives
If the capacity of your NCK work memory is already close to being
exhausted, you can also have G-code programs executed from the
hard-disk or from diskette/USB/network-drives (e.g. USB memory
stick).
The entire G code program is not loaded into NC main memory before
it is executed, but only the first part of it. Subsequent program blocks
are then continuously reloaded as the first part is executed.
When executing from the hard-disk or diskette/USB/network-drives,
the G-code Program remains saved on them.
Sequential control programs cannot be executed from the hard-disk or
diskette/USB/network-drives.
Running a G code
program from the hard
disk
îš¾ Open the Program Manager.
îš¾ Place the cursor on the directory that contains the G code
program that you want to execute from hard disk.

code program.
Cycle Start
îš¾ Press the "Cycle Start" key.
The machining of the workpiece is started (see Sec. "Machining a
workpiece".) The program contents are continuously reloaded into the
NCK work memory as the machining progresses.
