Questions and Answers

What is the definition of numerical control (NC) according to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA)?

  • A system where actions are controlled by the direct insertion of numerical data and manual interpretation
  • A system where actions are controlled by the direct insertion of numerical data without any interpretation
  • A system where actions are controlled by the direct insertion of numerical data and must automatically interpret at least some portion of this data (correct)
  • A system where actions are controlled by the direct insertion of symbolic code without any interpretation

    • What type of instructions does Computer Numerical Control (CNC) use?

  • Instructions stored as a program in a cloud-based system
  • Instructions stored as a program in a micro-computer attached to the machine (correct)
  • Instructions stored as a program in a separate control unit
  • Instructions stored as a program in a mainframe computer

    • What type of operations are associated with CNC applications?
