OUTPUT CODE
Select either EIA (RS-244A) or ASCII (RS-358-B) as output codes for 8
bit data lengths. Selecting 7 bit data length sets this output code to “N/A”
since EIA and ASCII do not apply to this type.
AUTO FILENAME
This parameter is valid only if you are inputting part programs to the
control from a tape reader (refer to DEVICE for details). This parameter is
used only if your tape contains more than one part program.
AUTO FILENAME lets you either automatically assign program names to
all programs or key in or read the filenames for each program individually
as they are copied into memory from a multiple program tape.
Setting Result
Yes The first program ona multiple-program tapemust have itsprogram name either keyed inmanually, or
there must be a program name asthe first blockof the first program. The controlautomatically creates
program namesfor successive programson that tapeby incrementingthe program nameby oneas each
new programis read. Any program namesthat exist as thefirst block of theprogram are ignoredfor any
program readafter the first program ontape (thoughthese blocks are stillcopied intomemory theyare not
used as the programname). An error isgenerated if whenreading program namesinto memory, the
control needsto increment aprogram name that is greater than99999.
Important: If the first program name isto beread from tape(not manually keyedin), the first blockof
the first program must contain aprogram name inone of thefollowing formats: Oxxxxx (ASCII), Nxxxxx or
:xxxxx wherexxxxx isany validinteger.
No The program namefor each programon a multi-program tapemust be either enteredfrom the keyboardor
located as the first blockof each programafter theprogram start code onthe tape. If no programname is
found in the first block and noprogram nameis keyed in, an error isgenerated.
Important: If the program name isto beread from tape(not manually keyedin), the first blockof the
program must containa program namein oneof the followingformats: Oxxxxx (ASCII), Nxxxxx or:xxxxx
where xxxxx is anyvalid integer.
