Intercon Software
Introduction
Intercon (Interactive Conversational) software allows you to quickly create a part program right at the control without
having to be a G-code expert. Intercon will prompt you to enter values from your print that describes the geometry of
the part. Intercon will display graphics of the part as you are creating it, helping you quickly proceed through part
programming. Intercon can then generate a G-code program from the geometric information you have entered.
You can purchase an offline version of the Intercon software for use on your desktop PC. You will need to purchase a
hardware key, which will allow the offline version to run. Simply plug the key into the computer, install the required
drivers, and run it.
Intercon Main Screen
When you access Intercon through the F5 - CAM option in the CNC software Main screen, the part program will be
displayed if the current job loaded in CNC software had an associated Intercon program. If the job file in the CNC
software did not have an associated Intercon program, the F1 - File menu will be displayed to load or create a file.
When the part program is displayed, different operations can be navigated and highlighted for additional actions by
using the arrow keys, and the HOME, END, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.
