If the comment occurs on a line with M00 or M01 and contains a le name with a .jpg or .png
extension, PathPilot displays the image in the tool path window when it reaches a programmed
M00 or M01 break.
1. Move an image le with a .jpg or .png extension to your PathPilot controller in one of the
following locaons:
• In the same folder as the G-code program le
• In a folder called images within the G-code program le’s folder
• In a folder called images within the home directory
2. Program an M00 or M01 break.
3. Using parentheses ( ), embed a comment within the line of G-code.
4. Type the le name of the image within the comment.
NOTE: Ensure the le name has either a .jpg or .png extension.
Example
M01 (photo_of_my_setup.jpg)
Display a Message - (MSG)
(MSG…) - displays a message if MSG appears aer the le parenthesis and before any other prinng
characters. Variants of MSG which include white space and lowercase characters are allowed. The
rest of the characters before the right parenthesis are considered to be a message. Messages are
displayed on the Status screen.
Example:
(MSG, your message here) prints your message here to the Status screen.
7.2.6 Optional Program Stop Control – (M01 BREAK)
The oponal program stop control (M01 BREAK) works as follows. If M01 break is on (indicated
by the LED on the M01 Break buon on the PathPilot interface) and a line in the G-code program
contains an M01-code, program execuon is stopped at the M01 line. The program resumes from
that line when the Cycle Start buon is pushed.
