## What is Macro Terminal CNC?

Welcome!

For more interesting information and better quality pictures, please visit our website:https://kandksoftware.github.io/macro-terminal-pro/

Macro Terminal CNC is a powerful CNC simulator for CNC milling and CNC lathes machines with FANUC / HAAS controller as well as CNC routers.The core of CNC Macro Terminal is especially designed for this purpose interpreter with a built-in debugging process tool to execute and analyze CNC macros (Fanuc Custom Macro B). You should know that Macro Terminal CNC is the only CNC software in the world that shows all math and logic operations one by one, line by line (known as parse tree).

All this makes Macro Terminal CNC the best choice for learning, debugging, writing and simulating CNC programs and macros and it gives the opportunity to better understand parametric programming.

Please note that Macro Terminal CNC also supports G16, G52, G68 and Haas G70 Bolt Hole Circle, Haas G71 Bolt Hole Arc, Haas G72 Bolt Holes Along an Angle.

Compatible with CNC controls: Fanuc 0(M/T), Fanuc 6(M/T), Fanuc 10(M/T), Fanuc 11(M/T), Fanuc 15(M/T), Fanuc 16(M/T), Fanuc 18(M/T), Fanuc 20(M/T), Fanuc 21(M/T), Haas and others using CNC macros based on Fanuc Custom Macro B.

General informations about Macro Terminal CNC:
- it works with most G-codes which means it's great for testing and learning typical CNC programming
- executing CNC macros
- reading popular system variables
- fully compatible with Fanuc Custom Macro B and Fanuc-compatible controls (e.g. HAAS, SINUMERIK 802D)
- math functions supported: sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, sqrt, abs, round, fix, fup, ln, exp, pow
- showing the assigned variables and colors the new assigned variables
- showing a parsing tree (great solution for debugging and learn CNC macros - parametric programming)
- running line-by-line (manually and auto-play mode)
- CNC simulator (a graphical representation of tool path) XY, XZ, YZ (milling) and XZ (lathe) mode
- 23 examples of CNC programs and CNC macro programming
- mill/lathe mode
- FANUC / HAAS mode
- undo, format, copy, surround features
- full support G16 (polar coordinate), G51 (scaling), G52 (shift work offset), G68 (coordinate rotation), G65 / G66 (macro subprogram call), G98, G99, repeat canned cycle (L and K)
- supporting for Haas G70 Bolt Hole Circle, Haas G71 Bolt Hole Arc, Haas G72 Bolt Holes Along an Angle
- circular interpolation supported by using (I, J, K or R)
- supporting for old FANUC repeat subprogram syntax (for example:P120001, 12 - number of repetitions, 0001 - subprogram name)
- supporting FANUC (4digits) and HAAS program title format (5digits)
- metric/imperial mode
- syntax checker (G-code analyzer, open brackets etc.)
- reading file with EOB ( ; ) / not or mix
- output syntax highlighting
- save/save as/open file/clear
- save/open file with extension: txt
- auto file save (1s, 2s, 4s)
- custom look (2 themes, font color, font size)

### 5/5 — Game Changer!

*2021-12-27*

Love this app. Fast response if you have any questions. The line by line evaluation is an absolute game changer.

### 5/5 — Great app concept!!

*2020-11-05*

This app works as advertised that is for sure!  It helped me troubleshoot and write some macro cycles I was attempting.  I didn’t have time to test them on the machines at work every adjustment.  So here I could nail down the code to then only fix minor controller differences in the code.  Suggestions to upgrade work be graphics, and being able to adjust the cutter tool diameter in the view screen.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.
I plan to add (in the near future) a tool magazine, which may be helpful in giving the right diameter, length and shape of the tool (a different shape for cutters, drills, taps, etc.).
Best regards

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2020-09-24*

I do a ton of programming at the machine(HAAS). This app is super helpful for writing new programs while it’s running and is perfect for testing new macros without messing up my machine. It has a few bugs but the creator is super quick to respond. 

The ability to go line by line and see the math worked out is my favorite part of this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.
I'm so glad you like it. Recently added some HAAS cycles, hope it will be helpful in your work.
Best regards

### 3/5 — Программа еще сыровата...

*2020-02-12*

Полноценно работать с этой программой пока не возможно.

Пожалуйста перепроверьте программу в разделе файлов, к примеру открытие ранее сохранённых файлов.

К сожалению за эту версию пока Тройка :(

П.С.
Идея очень хорошая, потенциал огромный.
Но нужно ещё дорабатывать.
Ребята старайтесь.... ;)

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

It was the missing file that caused the problem. Sorry about that. At that time, many things were new to me.
Over time the Macro Terminal CNC has evolved into a CNC simulator and has many new functions. From now on, you can see a graphical representation of the toolpath, run the simulator, use for milling and turning machines and much more.
Best regards
