NCI file definitions

[mrsafety]

Can anyone provide me with a NCI file definition? I'm trying to go through the file but I am having problems figuring it all out.

 

Thanks

An NCI file (*.NCI) contains all of the parameter information necessary to create a toolpath. It represents toolpath information in a generic or intermediate format. Sometimes referred to as the toolpath, this intermediate file simplifies post processing of MC toolpath operations into the various NC formats required by milling machine and controls. An NCI file cannot be used to directly control a machine.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I need to know what the fields mean. Is there a cross reference list or an "NCI file dictionary" out available?

The version 9 Post reference guide is the most comprehensive document available to date. Couple that with the Post Parameter ref.pdf in your MCAM installation folder /mcam/documentation

 

The V9 guide can be obtained from your reseller

Is the post reference guide available in PDF format? Could anyone provide this to me if it is?
