The program was written in word address and was tailored to run on a particular controller. Trigonometry was a must for determining tool paths. The CNC machine needed to be halted while the operator keyed the program into the machine control unit. The CNC machine was further tied up for program verification, which involved machining a test part and inspecting the results.The digital computer, however, has change the way programs are written, checked, and run. Some of the most dramatic improvements provided by the computer include off-line programming, the use of computer-aided programming language, and the application of CAD/CAM to programming.CNC machines operate at optimization when turning part programs and machining parts. This goal is achieved when new programs are written and tested at an off-line computer terminal. The program can be composed directly in word address (G codes and M codes) with the aid of text editing software. It can be tested and then stored on punched tapes, diskettes, Zip diskettes, or CD-ROM media. If the remote computer has a communication line to the CNC machine, the program can be downloaded directly to the machine’s controller. This technique is known as off-line programming.An Introduction to Computer-Aided Programming LanguageThe controller of a CNC machine can only operate on word address (G codes and M codes). Furthermore, these codes must be entered according to a specific format acceptable to the particular controller. A computer-aided programming language is meant to address some of these problems. A computer-aided programming language allows the programmer to unite the program using English-like command, not G and M codes. Because the tool path is described in terms of these commands, trigonometric computations are not needed. All tool parameters such as tool diameter, tool speeds,
