- # This file specifies the N/C drill output format options.
- # The file is divided into two sections:-
- # 1) Drill Listing - which determines the format of the Drill Listing file.
- # 2) N/C Drill - which determines the format of the output file to drive the
- # actual drill machine.
- # Each section has a header of the form: $<Section Name>.
- # The sections can be in any order but the section name must be preceeded by
- # a "$" character in the 1st column of a line.
- # Currently the only valid section names are "Drill Listing" and "N/C Drill".
- # Comments such as these may appear anywhere in the file so long as they
- # start with a "#" character in the 1st column.
- #
- # Each format option is identified by a 3 character mnemonic followed by a
- # colon ":".
- # A format option will either take a numeric value or a format string
- # immediately following the colon.
- # A format string specifies the exact text to be used within the drill
- # command that it is defining.
- # Format strings may contain the character "@" which indicates that a
- # numeric value or other data will be inserted at this point by the N/C Drill
- # software.
- # The character immediately following the "@" specifies the type of data to
- # be inserted as follows:-
- # @d - Drill size - valid in STS: only.
- # @t - Tool number - valid in STS: only.
- # @f - Drill feed rate - valid in STS: only.
- # @s - Drill speed - valid in STS: only.
- # @x - Drill X co-ordinate - valid in XYC: and SRC: only.
- # @y - Drill Y co-ordinate - valid in XYC: and SRC: only.
- # @r - Step & Repeat section (if selected) - valid in ETS: or EDF: only.
- # @n - Start new line in output file - valid in any format string.
- #
- # Note: the N/C Drill software only supplies the data types listed above.
- # Any additional commands such as Rewind commands, Swap or Mirror
- # axes commands must be inserted by the user in the apropriate format
- # string. The user should refer to his N/C Drill machine manual for
- # details.
- #
- # The format options are as follows:-
- # EIA: - Numeric value: 0 = ASCII output, 1 = EIA RS-244 output code.
- # MET: - Numeric value: 0 = English units, 1 = Metric units.
- # PRE: - Numeric value: number of fractional digits in co-ordinates
- # assuming English units of inches or Metric units of millimetres.
- # NDG: - Numeric value: total number of significant digits in co-ordinates.
- # LTZ: - Numeric value: 0 = no zero suppression, 1 = suppress leading zeros,
- # 2 = suppress trailing zeros.
- # INC: - Numeric value: 0 = absolute co-ordinates, 1 = incremental coords.
- # SDF: - Format string: commands for start of drill file.
- # STS: - Format string: commands for start of tool section.
- # XYC: - Format string: commands for drill hole co-ordinates.
- # ETS: - Format string: commands for end of tool section.
- # EDF: - Format string: commands for end of drill file.
- # SSR: - Format string: commands for start of Step & Repeat section.
- # SRC: - Format string: commands for Step & Repeat offset co-ordinates.
- # ESR: - Format string: commands for end of Step & Repeat section.
