Operation
3 Operation
3.1 Using UDL
WinUDL must be started and left running to allow the CNC operator to access part programs on the Host PC. Therefore it is recommended that a shortcut to WinUDL be placed in the Startup folder, so that the program starts automatically when the PC is started. If using the program strictly for PPT, the program does not need to be left running, except for user convenience.
1. Start WinUDL by selecting the WinUDL shortcut from the Windows START menu.
2. Activate UDL on the CNC. Refer to the appropriate CNC operation manual for instructions on activating and operating UDL from the CNC.
While the WinUDL host program is running, the following screen will appear: This screen may be minimized, and other programs may be executed while WinUDL is active, as long as they do not attempt to access the specified COM port.
