Calling any program as a subprogram

Danger of collision!

Coordinate transformations that you define in

the called program remain in effect for the calling

program too, unless you reset them.

If the program you want to call is located in the same

directory as the program you are calling it from, then

you only need to enter the program name.
If the called program is not located in the same

directory as the program you are calling it from,
you must enter the complete path, e.g.

TNC:

\ZW35\ROUGH\PGM1.H
If you want to call a DIN/ISO program, enter the file

type .I after the program name.
You can also call a program with Cycle

12 PGM CALL.

As a rule, Q parameters are effective globally with
a

PGM CALL. So please note that changes to Q

parameters in the called program also influence the

calling program.

Call a program with PGM CALL

The

PGM CALL function calls any program as a subprogram. The

control runs the called program from the position where it was

called in the program.

To select the functions for program call, press the

PGM CALL key
Press the

CALL PROGRAM soft key for the TNC

to start the dialog for defining the program to be

called. Enter the path name with the keyboard, or
press the

SELECT FILE soft key for the TNC to

display a selection window in which you can select
the program to be called. Confirm with the

END

key
