Advanced Generalized Post Processor (G-POST) Training Course

Course Overview

This two day educational offering instructs the student on how to use of the Interactive Debugger, available in Version 6.0, and how to write advanced Factory Interface Language (FIL) programs for G-Post.

Intended Audience

This course is structured for manufacturing engineers, NC programmers, machinists with some knowledge of computers and middle managers.

Course Objective

To teach each student to:

Review the basics of G-Post operations.
Use the Interactive Debugger to correct problem in a post processor.
Write advanced Factory Interface Language (FIL) routines.

Prerequisites

The student must have already attended our standard G-Post class!   In addition the student should have a working knowledge mathematics (i.e. algebra and trigonometry) and a basic understanding of the fundamentals of programming.   Additionally the student should be familiar with basic CNC machine codes and understand how CL files are created for use by the G-POST.

Course Materials

A student will be issued a G-POST and a FIL manual.   A variety of visual aids will be provided as well.
