    Before you move to the new PC, check the settings on the old one.

    I understand that you have to use another program but, the settings on the machine side will be the same. Just set the new program to the old settings.

    You can use Predator and it will work with Windows 7 or 8. You might be hard to find a serial port on a new PC running Windows 7 or 8, so make sure you find the proper hardware.

    USB or Ethernet to Serial devices work with the Heidenhain.

    Set the machine parameters as noted, set Predator Editor as the same and send from the CNC back to the CNC Editor. Check to make sure the file is in tack and everything there. If not, check the drivers on the serial hardware as they generally are the problem.

    If you get stuck, give me a ring.
