According to the manual I should be able to run a program directly from the "floppy disk". It says to press MDI then enter the program name and press MDI again.
I've tried several programs and several disks but I always get the same message "Cannot find file" or something similiar to that. I can upload these same files into the mill from the floppy, so I know that the disk is good and the controller can read them. It just won't allow me to run them from the floppy.
What am I I'm doing wrong? I'm following the manual step by step.
I also have the parameter and settings turned on for "DNC from floppy", as stated in the manual.
Any ideas?
