<br />

Some combinations of DNC software and CNC control<br />

sometimes miss the end of an uploaded file. Adding a couple<br />

of Carriage Returns to the end of the file as a buffer will<br />

ensure that the entire file is transmitted.<br />

The <strong>BTR</strong> responds to the Break character by resetting<br />

and clearing its buffer. The Break character is ASCII<br />

value 3, or HEX 03 (see Appendix B, page 21). If your<br />

DNC software can be configured to send control codes,<br />

it’s a good idea to have it send a Break character at the<br />

beginning of every part program. This will guarantee that<br />

the <strong>BTR</strong> buffer is reset and ready <strong>for</strong> a new program<br />

each time, even if the CNC didn’t properly finish reading<br />

the previous one. (The Break character will not be<br />

passed through to the CNC, and the start of the program<br />

following it will wait while the <strong>BTR</strong> is resetting.)<br />
