Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] abbreviations

Hi Peter,

Gibberish? Well, I'd call it something more like HAM-speak. TTY indeed
stands for Teletype, doesn't everyone have one in their garage? OOPS,
sold mine.

A "TTY interface" is meant to describe a single line of text sent to an
output device at a time. DOS command line command is an example. Hmmm,
sounds like Gcode's "blocks". Gcode started out on TTY's (my first
"consulting" job. Yeah, that was a while ago).
