Sending information to CAMS machines
This option sends stone design data to CAMS machines
connected to the computer through a serial port. You will
need to know the machine communication speed (also
known as baudrate), and you will also need a serial cable
(supplied with the machine). Communication speed is
usually set to 19200 bps. Please, check the CAMS manual
to know how to review and set the machine communication
speed.
The Send to Cams dialog is very simmilar to the Export
dialog, with two tabs: Layout and Beads.
Using the controls in the Layout tab you may set the
machine model and the position of the design within the
machine working area
The Beads tab lets you set the machine tray that should be
used for each bead type and the default angle for the
beads (required for CAMS 1V6P Option, that is able to set
pieces in any angle). Also a check in the first column lets
you include or exclude any given bead from the output.
Pressing the Send button instructs the system to display
the Serial Transmission dialog box:
You will need to select the COM port where the machine is connected and check that port
transmission speed (Config button, Bits per second value) matches the machine connection
speed. Data bits should be set to 8, Parity to none, Stop bits to 1 and Flow Control to hardware
(these are the values used by CAMS machines). Finally, prepare the machine to receive data and
press the Send button. Design information will be sent to the CAMS machine and stored in it.
