CMM Data to CNC Machine

I write a text file to a path on a common network, CNC controller reads every nth seconds.

As far as the other stuff goes.... Robot, CNC, CMM, loading/unloading, etc. It's called 'CNC machine tending' nothing new. Can't say too much due to strict company policy here.... yes it's that bad, we even get fake emails with links to test us LOL true story. You must report them as suspicious to pass the test.

Let's just say a CMM programmer with common sense can 'pick up' really fast in this line of work if you skim read quickly hehe! I've learned robots (very similar to a CMM concept just add a few more axis), Structured text PLC, SQL databases.... everything else is an endless loop sniffin' for booleans really not very hard just a boat load of stuff to keep in mind.

SQL databases is my fav to be honest, I even took my home monthly budget and turned it to a database that is accessible via a front end built as an iphone app my wife and I can view/edit on the go, every last penny is logged, transactions are pulled directly from bank statement. It's much easier to enjoy weekends and stop worrying about being broke, thank you Mr. Dave Ramsey!!!

I'm currently disecting all the data DataPage uses. It's stored in MSSQL server, you can view it with visual studio or which you can download for free. Why does it matter? You can Query data straight into an Excel spreadsheet via a tiny formula (SQL statement? SQL code? whatever.), bit more flexible and I don't have to touch DP+.
