kevin post pros. is ISO G-code format for a heidenhain controler, (port:com1),brad rate(9600), data bits(7) party(even) stop bits(1), Handshake is software and (xon xoff) line delay is 0. I star the line with % and G70 witch is in Inchs. The cnc is got three settings on rs-332 port, ME, FE, EXT. You have to go throught the MOD fuction in Programming and editing screen.
thankyou johnathon
