Tomaz, Thanks for the video! A possible solution: Use a file naming suffix such as (.nc1), (.nc2). Create a terminal script to read the file and choose the proper configuration.
Another possible solution: A switch on the rotary table to tell the control computer the table is in place. (or a toggle switch on the control panel) A terminal script sees the switch and chooses the proper configuration. Another possible solution: A rotary table switch. (or a toggle switch on the control panel) The (.ini) configuration file sees the switch and chooses which configuration section to read/omit to read. I am having a hard time seeing a problem to solve. If the rotary table is always connected then the machine will always run the program. I don't see a reason to have separate post processors. Having a command in the .nc file seems too late. The set up instructions should prescribe how the machine is set up. If not, the problem is not solvable at the time of running the .nc file. Just my two cents regards Stuart I am having a hard time understanding the desire/need.
