CNC transfer

Can DNC-Max add or remove percent signs automatically during CNC transfer?

DNC-MaxSerial CNC communication

Direct answer

Yes. A DNC-Max serial port can use transmit and receive translators to normalize percent characters without changing the stored NC program. That is useful when compatible machines disagree about whether a percent sign must appear at the beginning and end of the transmitted file.

Practical checkpoint

Test programs both with and without existing percent characters; the control should receive exactly one valid start marker and one valid end marker on separate lines.
