### The Machine Status Fields

The various machine status fields in PC-DMIS CNC Server provide information on already defined machines. These fields are described below:

ID – This field displays a unique identification number (integer between 1 and 32768) for each machine. Even if you have multiple machines of the same type, each must have a unique ID.

Machine – This field shows the name given for a machine. Each name must also be unique.

Program – This field displays the name of the PC-DMIS part program when the status field displays 'Receiving Data' or 'Analyze Data'.

Status – This field displays the machine's current status. It displays either nothing at all, Receiving Data, or Analyze Data.

If this field is blank, then the machine is not executing a measuring program and it may be running a cutting program.

If this field displays 'Receiving Data', then a measurement program is running on the NC Machine. Due to the nature of some machine interfaces the 'receiving data' status may be very brief as all the data is sent at the end of execution.

If this field displays 'Analyze Data', then the point data has been stored in the journal file and PC-DMIS NC is in the process of analyzing the data.
