Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Question on EMC

Hi Jon,

Actually one parameter, two values! Yes, "continuous" and "rollover"
would be good descriptive names for the two choices. Sometimes it seems
like most of the work is getting the vocabulary right for the user
interface!

And on a slightly different topic, your "canned" routines (which I
haven't had time to revisit) offer some good suggestions for macros. So
I guess these are similar items, macros that can be loaded, and canned
routines that would reside in the controller program. The distinction
seems to be blurring.
