GENER CAM Dialog
The CAM button on GENER panel is used to specify the type of CAM system that created the CL file. Changes made to these settings are remembered from one run to the next. The following panel will appear when the CAM button is pressed:
CAM System
Specifies the name of a CAM interface kit.
Each CAM interface is self contained in a separate directory. All standard interfaces can be found in the kit subdirectory below the installation directory. User customized interface kits can be created in the kit subdirectory below the application data directory. The application data kit subdirectory is searched first for a matching kit name, before searching the installation kit subdirectory. Each kit must contain an ICAM.DEF file defining the configuration details that are necessary for that specific CAM system format. Kit DEF file symbols take precedence over (i.e., override) those in the regular ICAM.DEF file.
The drop-down control can be used to select a kit from the list of available choices. You can obtain more information about the selected interface kit using the [ ? ] button. Select “-- No CAM interface kit --” to run GENER with the default or customized settings listed in the Settings box. Select “-- Automatic --” to have GENER choose an appropriate interface kit based on the input CL file type and content. The CAM system choice will take precedence over (i.e., override) the interface_kit symbol definition in the selected definitions file.
Settings
This group lists the DEF file settings that can have an effect on how a CL file is read. Normally all fields are inaccessible except for the “Customize Settings” checkbox. You can see the effect various DEF files and CAM settings have by looking at the fields in the Settings group.
