7. G-Code Editor

An important added value to the Control Software is the embedded G-Code Editor.
The G-Code editor is available in many places:

• In the Main View, on the right side of the Control Software UI.
• In the G-Code Editor View, on the main area of the Control Software UI.
• In the MDI Commands floating stack panel.
• In the Board Settings…→Tool Change panel.
• In the Functions→Macros Management panel.

Through the G-Code editor you can:

• View and modify a loaded G-Code Program.
• Create manually a new G-Code Program.
• Write the MDI commands in the MDI Commands float stack panel.
• View and modify the tool_change macro in the Tool Change panel.
• View the available macros in the Macros Management panel (only not encrypted macros).
• Run & debug the loaded G-Code Program/MDI.
• View the last Board CNC executed G-Code line.
• Select the G-Code program line from where to start the program execution.
• Select the G-Code program line from where to resume the stopped program execution.
• Select the G-Code program line from where to start the program simulation.
• Select the G-Code program line from where to place the simulation in pause state.
• and more and more other…
