Reading Step files from disk and module
To read a Step file from disk to DCS120, press Ctrl-R. A list of available step files will be displayed; enter the
desired file name and press Enter (but do not enter the .ST1 extension). To read the Step file from the
MMC120 to DCS120, press Alt-R.
Sending Step files to disk, module, and Flash memory
To save a Step file from DCS120 to disk using the current file name, press Ctrl-S; to save it with a new file
name, enter "s filename" on the command line (do not enter the '.BD1' extension; DCS120 automatically adds
the correct extension). To send a Step file from DCS120 to the MMC120, press Alt-S. To save the Step file
currently in the MMC120 to FLASH memory, enter '2' in the Position field, then press Alt-U. The 'U'
command uses the Acknowledge bit (9) of the Status word to report the result of the update. If the FLASH
updates successfully, bit 9 of axis 1 is set; if the update was unsuccessful, bit 9 of axis 2 is set.
