RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC, ISA and other Questions...

Hi, Alex:

As I understand it, you're almost correct. Although EMC and many other
G-Code interpreters are written in C, the G or M codes are not parsed into C
routines.

They're 'read and understood' by the interpreter, which then internally
generates the signals to your printer port (or other I/O ports) to drive the
motors.
