Heidenhain 2500B help

Anyone have any sample programs so I can check my post? Anything would help at this point.

Download the examples from Heidenhain`s website?

I have searched the website haven't found a thing on the TNC 2500B in ISO.
I sent an email to Rick at heidenhain no responce yet. I have had Bobcad edit the post once already. Seems I fix one thing and another pops up. I have been around CNC mills and lathes since I was 7 the teletype days now 40 and have not seen anything like this controller before. You would think out of all those years I would know someone that has messed with this controller before. If I had a sample program with a tool change in G-code I could see what is going on with the post.

I remember that Bridgeport had a few sample programs but they were all conversational.
The older control like the 151 you could write a program in conversational and it would convert it to ISO. Do not believe the 2500 can do that.
Find a post from Feature cam or EZCAM as these were married to Bridgeport and had good Heidenhain posts.
