Accessing Program Management

The Program Management mode provides access to all of the program utilities. These functions include creating, selecting, editing, deleting, and copying programs. The Program Management also provides access to network or USB memory devices.

To activate the programming display touch the Program Management button in the top menu bar.

The Program Manager's User’s listing lists the programs stored in the CNC. All CNC programs are displayed by their extensions after its name. Change the Program Type mode to view programs with other formats.

The folder where the user programs are stored is V:\USER. All programs should be created and saved in this folder. Additional folders can be created in V:\USER to better organize programs. Do not delete or alter programs or folders outside of V:\USER. Some programs and folders outside of V:\USER may be needed for normal operation of the CNC.
