Check the comm settings in the machine by to the MACH SETUP menu screen, then push SELECT and
then DEV PARM. The line that says
DATALINE is the one you should match with your DNC software. You can change the values by pushing the CHANGE soft key and picking the value
from the list.
Set the following parameters on the machine:
Parameter Value
LDR 0
RT NO
Form Feed NO
Protocol Level 1
Baud rate 2400
Parity Even
Data bits 8
Stop Bits 1
Some of the above settings seem to conflict with those in ConnectCNC;
but the control counts the even parity bit as a data bit.
Set ConnectCNC as follows:
Common Settings
Name Acramatic 850
Baudrate 2400
Data bits 7
Stop bits 1
Parity Even
Flow control Xon/Xoff ("Hardware" may work better)
Xon Char. 17
Xoff char. 19
