Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Heidenhain TNC 150

Heidenhain can provide a small utillity for transfering files to and from a
PC connected to any TNC control. Google for tncremo
A standard RS232 cable is all that is required to connect the PC and the TNC
together.

The first file I would recommend transfering is the TNC machine configs.

Regards, Paul.


P.S. The Heidenhain programming language isn't too bad once you get use to it.
