SETUP INSTRUCTIONS FOR QTERM-II TERMINAL QTERM-II Terminal CIMCO DNC-Max 6 supports the use of hand-held terminals. A hand-held terminal is used where a CNC does not have a full keyboard, for remote handling of DNC applications. With the handheld terminal a CNC machine operator can request a CNC program from the DNC computer, even while the machine is still working with another program. The terminal is serially connected to the DNC-Max 6 - just like a CNC machine. When a CNC program is to be requested or stored, the name of the CNC program is entered and sent as an ASCII string to the DNC computer.
