Possiblity of offsets loaded on startup

Hi All,

I have a Triac VMC running the old DOS software, everything works fine but all my jigs work from a fixed datum on the machine and all the tools are common.

Is it possible to have the offset file load automatically on machine start up?

In one of the books it makes a reference to a teachers set up manual which I do not have. Is this available anywhere?

Thanks
Graham.

Rename the offset file on the start up disc. Instead of the 4 numbers save it as the same name as the software you are running. It will be "FANUCMD" or similar. It may be easier to do this on another PC.
