7.1.2. MultiCAM-Interpreter
HPGL
extended with
3D commands
The MultiCAM format is a 3D expansion of the HPGL standard. It
includes all previous HPGL commands and some additional ones by
means of which the Z-axis can be moved synchronously with the
other axes.
A differentiation is made between 2D and 3D modes. There must
always be 3 coordinates in 3D mode, i.e. one for the Z-axis as well.
ZZ0/1; Activates 2D or 3D mode
ZUz; Toollift height of the Z-axis over the zero point
(overwrites the safety clearance parameter)
ZDz; Plunge depth (overwrites the depth values in the
parameters)
SFv; Feed rate
ZOd; Spindle speed
The syntactical rules of HPGL language apply analogously to
MultiCAM.
7.1.3. Drilling data interpreter
Various drilling
data formats
The drilling data interpreter recognizes data in the following
standards Excellon, Sieb&Maier1000 and Sieb&Maier3000.
A drilling file always starts with one or two percent signs and ends
with the command M30. In between, there can be any number of
lines with X and Y coordinates and the tool number.
Drilling data
sntax
The syntax is as follows:
% oder %%
[Xval][Yval][Tx]
.....
M30
There are two different formats. In format 1, the coordinate values
are always 5-digit numbers, although it is possible to leave off the
trailing zeros (e.g. X021 corresponds to 2100).
In format 2, leading zeros are discarded and the coordinate values
therefore comprise different numbers of digits.
