¶ G-code File
When having a g-code file in hands, you can open it in a text editor like Notepad++ to read the information inside, which requires a good knowledge of gcode format. In order to have a better understanding, you can open Gcode file in INTAMSUITE NEO directly to preview its printing paths with print head in colors and 3D interactively. Marlin G-code flavor is supported well.
