Advanced G-Post Training Class
Course Overview and Intended Audience
This two and a half (2 1/2) day educational offering instructs the student on how to use the Interactive Debugger (available in version 6.0 and above), and how to write advanced Factory Interface Language (FIL) programs for the G-Post. The course is structured for manufacturing engineers, NC programmers, machinists with some knowledge of computers, and middle managers.
Course Objectives
The objectives of the course are as follows:
- Review the basics of G-Post operations
- Use the Interactive Debugger to correct problems in a postprocessor
- Write advanced FIL routines
Prerequisites
The student must have already attended our standard G-Post class. In addition, the student should have a working knowledge of mathematics (i.e., algebra and trigonometry) and have 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
The student will be issued a G-Post manual and FIL manual. A variety of visual aids will be provided as well.
Summary of Course Topics
- Review of postprocessor programming using G-Post
- How to use the Interactive Debugger to correct postprocessor problems
- How to write FIL files for non-standard machines/controllers
