FUNCTION_BLOCK SMC_PathCopierFile
The function block SMC_PathCopierFile reads and decodes a G-code file (sFileName) and creates an array of points from the generated path. If the number of path elements is smaller than the number of array points, then they are handled the same way as with SMC_PathCopierCompleteQueue. If not, the points are evenly distributed on the path. The inputs pvl and piStartPosition are transferred to the function blocks SMC_ReadNCFile and SMC_NCDecoder, so the documentation there is also valid for the inputs here.
This function block is used to provide an overview over a complete CNC program. It uses all points of the track buffer, but in case of very large G-code programs or a huge zoom factor it may be not precise.
