Example: After performing steps (1) through (11), digitizing
above line is done as follows:
Step
Result (in Program)
Locate point A. Press X.
Beginning of first line. No line is
drawn to coordinates (from origin).
Move to point B. Press Y.
Line is drawn from point A to
coordinates of point B.
Locate point C. Press X.
Machine moves from point B to point
C without drawing line.
Move to point D. Press Y.
Line is drawn from point C to
coordinates of point D.
Move to point E. Press Y.
Point D is in common. Line is drawn
from D to E.
Locate point F. Press X.
Machine moves from point E to F
without drawing line.
Move to point G. Press Y.
Line is drawn from F to G.
k. Digitizing arcs and circles. Basic procedure is similar to digitizing lines, except d fferent keys are usecl to
send coordinate data. Full circles can be digitized several ways, but each requires location of center point.
Digitized data is sent to the teletype using the digitizing keyboard, via the digitizing card cage, for recording and
punching tape. Data is recorded as program command lines containing drafting commands (for arcs and circles)
and coordinates of points.
