I used the Hyperterminal program which came with NT 4.0; same as Win 95. No problems. You may wish to download the latest version of Hyperterminal--http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/download.html.
Hyperterminal is not as configurable as some communications programs. I was unable to communicate with Mazak Quick Turn 15 & 20's. I had better luck with the terminal program provided with Win 3.11. Or other communications programs which allowed manual configuration of all terminal settings. Mazak is a world unto itself. Verify the Mazak parameters are set correctly for communications. The default is communications in Mazak functionality. If you are attempting to download a G code program which is ASCII legible, you will have to change some Mazak parameters. I know nothing about the Mazak Laser, it may not have the capability to download G-code equivalent programs. The QuickTurn 10& 15 only communicated binary programs; they were unreadable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Buck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2000 9:15 PM Subject: [mfg-smartcam] comm program > I am migrating away from SmartCam slowly and just installed a Mazak > Laser.
