Interpreter settings file

The settings file has SNCI (Sprut Numerical Control Interpreter) extension and XML format. The description of its elements is given below. Required parameters are marked with a sign in the corresponding column.

Description of the SNCI file elements

* - required field;

** - the LibraryFileName_Net field or both fields LibraryFileName_x32, LibraryFileName_x64 must be filled;

*** - the field must be filled in if the LibraryFileName_Net field is filled.

Description of each item from the register list (Registers):

The Version field is reserved for future use.

Important elements of the interpreter's settings file are: its own identifier (ID), identifier (LibraryID) and link to .NET / x32 / x64 version software library files (LibraryFileName_*), identifier (ParentID) and link to parent interpreter (ParentFileName). The identifiers of the settings file and the program library must be unique (see the GUID article: Globally Unique Identifier).

The LibraryFileName_* field should point to files, with a program library, relative to the directory where the SNCI file is located. It is recommended to place the file with the program library in the directory with the SNCI file.

There are two options for connecting the program library to SprutCAM:

1. The software library is designed for the .NET platform (for example, in C #).
   In this case, you must fill in the LibraryFileName_Net and NetNamespaceClass fields, where:
   LibraryFileName_Net - link to the program library.
   NetNamespaceClass is a namespace and class that implements the interface of interaction with the interpreter. Format: Namespace.Class, for example: sample.Interpreter.
   
   

2. The program library is native (written in Delphi, C ++, etc.)
   In this case, the LibraryFileName_x32 and LibraryFileName_x64 fields should be filled in (reference to the x32 / x64 program library, respectively).Versions of the x32 / x64 software library should be called by the same name, but with different prefixes. For example: Sample_x32.dll / Sample_x64.dll or Sample_Win32.dll / Sample_Win64.dll. Where "Sample" is the name of the program library.

If the interpreter is not the inheritor of another interpreter, then the parent fields are filled with empty values:

<ParentID>{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}</ParentID>

<ParentFileName/>

The FileExtension field is reserved for future use.

In the Registers field is a list of registers for automatic selection of words from the NC code. The order of transmission of the control program frame is described in the following article. The interpreter configuration file may be not complete list of registers, it will be received by the interpreter program library, however tag <Registers/> must be attend.

The use of the interpreter settings file is given in the G-code based program interpretation section.
