Example

The contents of the CNC parameter data table between <start> and <end> are uploaded to the <filespec> for <ipaddr>, <portnum> and <pathnum>:

C:\> cnc_eupload_tool parm 3.26.7.150 8172 0 parm1000.csv 1 1000
Uploading parm 0001 - 1000 to parm1000.csv: Success
C:\>

The file parm1000.csv is either created or overwritten with all the parameters in the range of 1 to 1000 currently registered in CNC memory. The file upload_tool_log.csv is either created or overwritten with any errors during the upload.

In the following example, the entire contents of the CNC parameter data table is uploaded to the <filespec> for <ipaddr>, <portnum> and <pathnum>:

C:\> cnc_eupload_tool parm 3.26.7.150 8172 0 parmall.csv
Uploading all parm to parmall.csv: Success
