CNC Secondary Development Manual: Reading Guide

中文版

If you know CNC variables, formulas, conditions and subprograms, begin with the existing standard functions. Parameters hold values, scripts process them, and pages let the operator enter and view them. Buttons connect an operation to its script.

Follow the reading order below. Each lesson uses screenshots from the corresponding language of the standard interface. Use the chapter links to move between lessons.

Screen scripts and NC programs have different purposes and some different rules. Read the explanation beside each example before using it. Follow any stated machine, access and operating-state requirements.

1. Pages and operating controls

Topic	What you will learn
Page switching	Clicks, selection parameters and page loading
Text, values and status	Text sources, number formats and display conditions
Parameter windows	Define input rows, enter values and use parameters
Function-key configuration	Function definitions, button positions and startup preparation
Context menus and submenus	Menu contents, selections and script calls
Run scripts and NC directly	Input saving, interpreter selection, note data and shared scripts, adding a note

2. Coordinates on the main screen

Topic	What you will learn
Axis configuration	Axis menus, shared flags and coordinate-row visibility
Coordinate input	Display, working input, confirmation and NC processing

3. From a file to machining

Topic	What you will learn
File loading	Select a file, display its code and prepare the machining list
Start, pause, resume and stop	Operating buttons, preparation, macro files and completion
Progress, prompts and alarms	How operating states select content, colors and click actions

4. Generate programs with Teach

Topic	What you will learn
The basic Teach workflow	Enter parameters, generate records, recall them and load code
Teach tables	Paging, indices, input choices and buttons inside cells
Line and Spatial Arc	Capture points, control axis columns and distinguish old and new records
Recipe references	Fixed values and parameter references in generated code
Edit, save and reopen	Edit records and save programs with their matching recipes

5. Continue with other ways to generate programs

Topic	What you will learn
Machining Wizard	Dimension inputs, direction illustrations, macro loops, file generation and loading
DXF page and import	Macro-parameter enablement, page loading, button scripts and import defaults
Hole table and settings	List and drawing selection, original hole indices, per-hole settings, defaults, filtering and order
DXF postprocessing	Settings strings, JS input and return, headers/footers, saving/loading and customization points
G196 bore-milling example	Add a method and D/I/Q, connect JS to O9196, and examine the complete program and toolpath
Separate Normal Following page	Retain drilling/bore milling, build two pages, select contours, generate X/Y/C and save/load

Follow the existing Carving Rectangle wizard, then read the DXF chapters in order: import → hole table and settings → program generation → G196 extension → separate Normal Following page. The drilling chapters share the four-hole drawing; the normal-following chapter adds a contour drawing and a combined two-page package. For current detailed reference material, see parameterized programs (Chinese) and DXF design (Chinese).
