More Gerber Sabre stuff

Post by Dropout »

Hi All

I happened to get hold of a program written to run on the Sabre. I won't bore you with the entire file but the program starts like this:

#R4000
#R4100
#R49000061A8
#MJob Start. Load Matl
#L0.250 0.250 -0.156 4.610 4.983-0.056
#R4101
#R4001
#M1:0.250 inches dia. slot drill <18000 R.P.M>
#R4A00000001
#F200
#P50
#A0.25100 0.25100 -0.25000
#C0.25100 0.25100 0.05034
#B0.25433 0.25100 0.05034

and ends like this:

#B3.91233 4.23800 0.00200
#D3.91233 4.23800 -0.25000
#A0.00000 0.00000 -0.25000

Does anyone know (to save me the time of going thorugh all the posts one at a time) if any of the current posts have a similar format in the body, i.e. listing the X,Y and Z in each line? I think it's safe to assume the #A is equivalent to a G00, #C to a plunge (G01 Z) and #B to a G01.

If (when) I can get it to work, I will post the results.
