VEGA DATA-View 3D NC File Viewer, Back-Plotter, Editor and DNC System
Edit, View, Verify, Feed Rate Optimize and Download your CNC Part Programs.
Graphically View & Verify Your NC Tool Path
DATA-View is a FAST and EASY to use PC Based Graphical tool path verification utility that includes an NC File Editor. DATA-View can quickly load large NC, STL, and HPGL files. DATA-View also supports DXF file exporting of NC File data.
Load NC, STL, and HPGL Data
Load very LARGE files FAST! using DATA-View 10-100 MB files don't stand a chance. File loading rates as fast as 1 second a MB, you will be viewing and editing your data without delay!
At A Glance Displays
DATA-View is Intuitive, Interactive, easy to use and has handy At-A-Glance display screens designed for the NC operator. M & G codes are displayed in a man readable format (No codes to decipher)
Verify the NC File
DATA-View allows you to verify the cutter path by processing the tool path as the CNC would. DATA-View executes all motion as well as Canned Cycles, M & G Codes, Spindle Speeds, Tool Codes, and Feedrates. See potential errors and surface violations before they end up on your part!!!
View the NC File
DATA-View allows you to view the NC data depending on your viewing needs. View your NC data by:
- By Overlaying the cutter path on top of your STL model
- By Feedrates, Active Tool, and Executed Block
- By Region (Graphic display start point)
- By Z Level (Height Mapping)
- Unique M and G code Nodes for graphic display
- Displays Modal/Active M and G codes
- Detailed Canned Cycle information
- Status Flags for Rapid, Spindle, Tool Changes, Dwell, Canned Cycles, Tool Length/Diameter codes
- Heads-Up-Display including programmed messages, Modification Flags, and Feed-O-Meter
Easy to Use Tools
DATA-View has Intuitive tools to provide a powerful link between man and machine. Viewing tools include:
- Pick-A-Line for selection of lines, arcs, and circles
- Dynamic Zoom for real time zooming
- Zoom Window
- Dynamic Rotation tool for real time rotations
- Pan Display
Advanced NC File Text Editor
Syntax Highlighting NC File Editor
DATA-View advanced syntax highlighting editor is fast, powerful and easy to use.
- Syntax Highlighting for easy editing
- Unique Colors for M and G Codes
- Cut, Copy, Past, Paste Inverted (Reversed)
- Search/Replace for text, Block Numbers, Position, Feedrates, spindle Speed, Tool Number, etc.
- Edit in Execution window or Full Screen edit modes
- Append files (Merge multiple files)
- Print NC files in color or black and white
Built In Macros
DATA-View comes fully equipped with built in macros. Use these macros to quickly and safely modify NC files:
- Independent Axis Scaling, Mirroring, and Offsets
- Axis Interchange (Swap Axis)
- Reverse Entire File
- Z Level Plateau (Z axis Trim)
- Strip Rapids, Feedrates, and/or Spindle codes
- Strip Block Numbers, Spaces, Leading/Trailing zeros, and Redundant data
- Block Re-Number with Increment and Roll-Over
Linked Text and Graphic Display
DATA-View has direct correlation between the graphic display and the text window. Cursor to a location in the text window and the tool moves to the same location in the graphic display. Use the Pick-A-Line tool to select a line, arc, or circle in the graphic window and the correlating text is highlighted.
View STL Files & NC Data
Import STL Solid Data
DATA-View can Import both ASCII and Binary STL solid model data. This enables DATA-View to view STL data along with single or multiple NC data files. Now you can see the bigger picture...The complete part!!!
STL Tools Include
- Viewing Solid Models
- Overlay NC Data File over a Solid Model
- Overlay Multiple NC Data Files over a Solid Model
- Offset Tool Geometry by Tip of Tool or Center of Ball
- Convert Binary SLT to ASCII STL format
- Convert ASCII STL to Binary format
DATA-Link Single Port DNC
Add the DATA-Link option to DATA-View and add real time DNC capability. . DATA-Link supports drip feeding large files without any file size limitation.
DATA-Link allows the user to safely start the download in the middle of the program. DATA-Link scans the program and tracks the status of the Spindle, Coolant, Tool Changes, M & G codes and then creates the necessary start up codes.
DATA-Optimize Option
Add the DATA-Optimize option to DATA-View and stop your machines from banging, slamming, and jack hammering.
DATA-Optimize is a 3D vector analyzing process that embeds acceleration and deceleration feedrates into the NC file. to make your machine run smoother and run your programs faster.
5 Axis Option
Add the 5 Axis Option to DATA-View and take the guesswork out of the complexities of 5 Axis machining.
Reduce Costly Mistakes- There is a potential crash behind every tilt, rotation, pivot and retract. Wouldn't you like to see them ahead of time?
