enough room for program Your CNC program is too large to fit into
the available memory. Therefore, it has been incompletely loaded,
and you should bear this in mind whilst editing it. If this error
persists your computer will need a memory upgrade.|READ ERR
A|Program load error A disc error has occurred whilst loading your
CNC program. You should check for faults on your floppy or hard
disc. The DOS CHKDSK utility will do this for you.|NO LOAD FILE
A|New program A program of the name you have given does not exist
on disc. A blank program has been created in memory so that you can
begin typing in a brand new program. The name you have just given
will be retained for use when saving your program.|NO MERGE FILE

not enough memory.|OPT LOAD ERR A|Options file not found There is
no options file of the given name on disc. Try again with a
different name.|OPT SAVE ERR A|Cannot save options The current
options cannot be saved in a file. This may mean that your disc has
become faulty or that you are trying to overwrite a read-only file.
Use the DOS utility CHKDSK to check your disc for faults.|CANT CH
OPTION A|Cannot change option There is not enough memory to change
this option. If this fault persists you should consider a memory
upgrade.|PRINT ERR A|Print error A device error ocurred during
printing. If you are sending the print to a file then this
indicates a disc fault. When printing to a DOS device this
indicates that DOS has returned an error. When printing to an RS232
serial port this indicates a transmission error.|CANT PRINT
A|Cannot print This means that the printing device for which you
are configured does not exist. If you are directing the print to a
file then you have a disc fault, or you are trying to overwrite a
read-only file.|NO LINE ROOM A|No room for edit There is not enough
memory left for the editor to save the line currently being edited.
Some operations (eg. save & print) cannot take place when this
happens. Remove some characters from the line and try again. If
this error repeatedly occurs then you may have to upgrade the
quantity of memory in your computer.|NO COPY ROOM A|No room for
copy There is not enough space left in the editor to allow you to
copy the marked block. This will typically happen when copying a

A{{{|S RPM A|RPM Spindle Speed 1 of 2 The "S" value specifies the
new RPM speed for the spindle. If the spindle is on then it will
now spin at this new speed.#Constant Surface Speed#S SURFACE
A#Other CNC instructions#CNC A{|S RPM B|RPM Spindle Speed 2 of 2
Example: M03 S1200 sets the spindle speed to 1200 RPM and turns the
spindle on. Example: G01 X10 Z1 S1000 sets the spindle speed to
1000 RPM and then performs the linear move.{{|S SURFACE A|Constant
Surface Speed The "S" value specifies the surface speed of the
tool. This is in metres (or feet) per minute. To keep to this
surface speed the spindle is continously updated.#RPM Spindle
Speed#S RPM A#Other CNC instructions#CNC A{{|S FEED A|Feedrates 1
of 3 Except for the threading commands the "F" value refers to the
feedrate. There are 2 modes, feed per minute and feed per
revolution.#Other CNC instructions#CNC A{|S FEED B|Feedrates 2 of
3FEED PER MINUTE This is the default mode. When an "F" is on a
block the current feed rate is changed to its value. G98 sets feed
per minute mode. Example: G98 F50.0 sets a feedrate of 50 mm per
minute.{{|S FEED C|Feedrates 3/3 FEED PER REVOLUTION In this mode
the feed rate is set to the spindle speed multiplied by the current
feed per revolution value "F". G99 sets feed per revolution mode.
Example: G99 G01 Z-10.0 S100 F1.5 sets the feedrate to 150 mm per
minute.{{|XZPOS A|Positions 1/3 X Axis Positioning. The "X" value
is for an absolute position. The "U" value is for a position
relative to the current position. If diameter programming is active
then these values refer to the diameter instead of the radius, this
is the default.#Other CNC instructions#CNC A{|XZPOS B|Positions 2/3
Z Axis Positioning. The "Z" value is for an absolute position. The
"W" value is for a position relative to the current
position.{|XZPOS C|Positions 3/3 Arc Centre Position. Instead of
the arc radius "R" the arc centre can be specified relative to the
arc start. The "I" and "K" value place the arc centre on the X and
Z axis respectively. If a value is not specified it defaults to 0.
The "I" value is specified as a radius.
