-When running G-code normally, clicking elsewhere with the mouse or interacting with other software will cause the system to pause. In the case of [[Library Functionality]], the system may need to run other software and not pause the G-code. To implement this ability, set the variable SAC_FOCUS_LOSS to true in the beginning of the SAC file. To restore the functionality, set the value to false. The value is also reset on software and SAC file restart.
+When running G-code normally, clicking elsewhere with the mouse or interacting with other software will cause the system to pause. In the case of [[Library Functionality]], the system may need to run other software and not pause the G-code. To implement this ability, set the variable SAC_FOCUS_LOSS to true in the beginning of the SAC file. To restore the functionality, set the value to false. The value is reset on restart of the CNC interface but is NOT reset on re-running of the SAC or G-code files.

		+	To make a SAC file, either use the CNC interface Edit function, or write the code in notepad and save the file as a .SAC file. The contents of the file is normal text formatting.

	=== File Operations ===		=== File Operations ===
		+
		+	====openfile handle,filename,mode====
		+	Opens a file for reading or writing to. You can have more than one file open, and the handle will control what file you are referring to. The handle should be a number, like 52.
		+
		+	Modes:
		+	* i = input, or read a file
		+	* o = output, or write to a file (this will erase the file if it already exists)
		+	* a = append, or write to the end of an already existing file
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre>openfile 91,"C:\file.txt","O"</pre>
		+
		+	====closefile handle====
		+	Use the same handle number and close the file previously opened. If this is not done before a program is finished, it is possible that all the data will not be written to the file.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre>closefile 91</pre>
		+
		+	====readfile handle,destination====
		+	Reads the file referenced by handle and puts it in string destination. Also returns the string.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre>
		+	lineoffile=readfile (91,alsolineoffile)<pre>
		+
		+	openfile 91,"C:\file.txt","I"
		+	DO
		+	lineoffile=readfile (91,alsolineoffile)
		+	MSGBOX LINEOFFILE
		+	IF EOFFILE (91) THEN EXIT DO
		+	LOOP
		+
		+	closefile 91
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	====writefile handle, text====
		+	Write text to the file referenced by handle.
		+
		+	Examples:
		+	<pre>writefile 91,"I like text!"+vbcrlf</pre>
		+
		+	<pre>writefile 91,gathereddata+vbcrlf</pre>
		+
		+	====eoffile (handle)====
		+	Return true if the file is at its end.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre>if eoffile (91) then closefile 91</pre>

	=== Errors ===		=== Errors ===
		+
		+	==== errorlimit "a",#====
		+	Change the error value at which the machine returns a position error and stalls. Changing this value is not recommended. It can result in increased motor wear, or premature stalling. The standard value is 3000.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre>errorlimit "XYZ",3000</pre>
		+
		+	====axiserror "a"====
		+	Returns true if the axis has experienced an error, false if everything is okay. Only one axis may be checked per instance of the function. Since an axis error causes the program to stop, it is not likely that this function will be useful.
		+
		+	Example:
		+	<pre>if axiserror("X") =true then msgbox("ERROR!")</pre>
