8.2.6 Sending the Data
The data area is limited in capacity. To store more data, it is necessary
to expand the data area using a macro variable or battery-powered
memory for PMC C language, and send the necessary data from the
expansion area to the data area as required. This function is supported
by a means of data transfer between a macro and the PMC, as shown
below.

(1) Data transfer through the PMC-CNC window
Data can be transferred between the data area and battery-
powered expansion memory through the PMC-CNC window.
(2) Reading a comment through the PMC-CNC window
If a comment is specified with the M code, the PMC can read it
through the PMC-CNC window. The comment can be used to
specify data such as material and plate thickness.
