Of course, they have their own proprietary language to describe the motion. Even my waterjet had its own language for 2 axis motion. That sucks, because it is not human-readable. I think this one is even more tricky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2llqv0CUiMI&NR=1 Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
