Computer hangs while attempting to run other applications when running a file
Warning: It can be dangerous to attempt to use other applications on the same PC when the Techno CNC Interface is running a file. You may lose the ability to stop the machine via the Interface.
Scenario
While an NC file is running, the computer freezes and appears to crash if the operator attempts to start another program such as a web browser or CAM software.
Problem
The Control Interface requires all other applications be shut down and remain off while running a file. On newer computers with multi-core processing, the system will be responsive while running a file, but the computer should not be used for anything but running the machine while a gcode file is executing.
Solution
Use a different PC for all other software activities.
