You will still need the book. Example: Even in MDI or MDI store, the machine will not define what it needs clearly enough for the three Z values in a deep hole drilling cycle, all unsigned incremental values (total depth from clearance point, first peck, each additional peck). Try putting in a negative value and it drills up!
It would be well worth your trouble to hook up a pc to the machine as editing and programming through the front panel is brutal.
You need to find someone close to you with knowledge of a BOSS 9 and spare time, it will be very hard to give you a course on this forum.
