i am in my second year at college and ahve been given a question that i cannot answer. can anyone help? 'explain how binary notation is used when applied to a part program'
This question has come up before:

I'm still not sure what binary notation would have to do with part programs unless they are talking about punch paper tape. This used to store part programs as binary 1's and 0's - the old CNC would then receive each row of binary and read them as the ASCII characters that made up the part program.
