John wrote a Python script that used the FOCAS library to connect to the CNC machine. He imported the necessary modules and created a Focas object to represent the CNC machine. through wrappers and ctypes porting

if ret == 0: for i in range(4): # First 4 axes print(f"Axis i: pos.disp[i]:.3f mm")

: To demonstrate how Python, through wrappers and ctypes porting, simplifies data extraction for analytics, tool monitoring, and machine migration. 2. Technical Architecture
