Mastercam PostProcessor Note

The document provides instructions for four post processing tasks: 1. Updating an old post processor version by selecting the original file, specifying target and backup folders, and overwriting options. 2. Backing up files for a new post processor version including CNC machine configuration, materials, and milling/turning/wire files. 3. Calculating cutting speed and feed rate parameters based on tool diameter and surface roughness specifications. 4. Transferring machine and PC data by configuring connection settings, baud rate, stop bits, and parity on both systems and saving programs on the machine.
