You need to set up your serial port settings on you pc ( generally only one port on my laptop is a serial port (still looks like a usb ). The com port settings I use are 8 , 1 , none with 9600 baud rate . Make sure the machine is also set to 8 , 1 , none and 9600 .
I also use a n dnc program to feed the info from lap top to machine . via a usb to serial port adaptor ( sounds more complicated than it actually is )
For large programs , select programs , load program , select com port , Run without loading, select continuous , click load on machine then send from laptop. It will take maybe a minute to see the program load on machine - make sure the program is at the start on the machine .
If you send the program before clicking load on the machine you may find you are missing the first part of your program .
I will run through it tomorrow and re clarify , unless some one tells you more clearly before hand .
