Hi Everyone --
I am new to this so UNDOUBTEDLY I am making a variety of embarrassing mistakes. I apologize profusely in advance.
I just got dropped into the role of helping a student and our machinist try to get Mastercam X5 for SW talking to a Dynapath 20 controller, which runs a Lagunmatic milling machine.
We bought a book... we are exploring examples and the directory structure, and trying to learn the lingo.
The task we want to perform is to decide whether, or where, we have any problems. How do we most easily test whether the computer is able to talk to the controller? And how do we know if we have the right post processor? And, what question should we ACTUALLY be asking?
Thanks in advance if you have even a couple of terse words of guidance!
Sincerely yours,
Jim Papadopoulos
Instructor, Mechanical Engineering, Northeastern University
