5.4.1.3 Reading a Programme in Drip Feed Mode
When a programme is too long to be stored in the CNC RAM or the user does not wish to store it (e.g. a programme
from a CAD system and subject to modifications), this programme can be executed by reading it directly from a
peripheral or a computer.
A programmed executed in drip feed mode is subjected to certain restrictions concerning skips, subroutines and
emergency retraction blocks (See Programming manual).
