Haas Disk Abort on USB

[Stephen]

I can't transfer a USB  file(MC) over to memory on my VF-2. I have renamed the file and I have plenty of room on the drive. Older files on my USB will still transfer. The weird part is I can select and open the problem file in the editor. Very frustrating! What am I missing?

Are you sure the problem file has the correct file extension

[Stephen]

It's a .nc.  If it was wrong I don't think it would open in the editor? I'll have to check the other files.

I have this problem. Format usb to fat32.  That fixed my problem.  Although that was a floppy to usb upgrade.

.nc file will not work, change your file to .txt. That will work

what year machine?

~2006ish Haas controls were pretty glitchy on reading usb, If I remember.

might power cycle and re-try.

.nc and .txt should work

Can't have a comma in a file name IIRC.

I finally figured it out. I renumbered my file to  O8665 instead of O9665. NEVER name a file O9XXX for transferring USB files to the controller. I had no idea about this and it did not come up in my Haas training's or classes. I think it's tied to setting #23. Does anyone know more about this?

Yes, if setting 23 is off, then you can bring in a O9xxx program. However, it is bad practice to use 9000 programs as part programs, as they should only be used for macros.

This is incorrect both work

Stay out of the 8000 to 9999 range. That's as protected area for macros, probe, ect.
