If necessary, create and/or edit part programs to download to the CNC.

Part programs are downloaded to the CNC one at a time. You can create files that contain one program or multiple programs.

1. Open the text editor of your choice.

2. Create a file with:

	One program.
	Two or more programs.

One program

The file with one part program must use the following format.

Line	Format
1	%
2	Onnnnnnnn (XXXXXXX)
	Where O is a capital o. nnnnnnnn is the program number up to 8 digits. (XXXXXXX) (optional) is descriptive.
Next	Part program commands
End	%
	Where % is the end of file

Up

Two or more programs

When downloading a file that contains multiple programs, the programs are downloaded one at a time.

The file with two or more part programs must use the following format.

Line	Format
1	%
2	0xxxxxxxx (XXXXXXX)
	Where O is a capital o. nnnnnnnn is the program number up to 8 digits. (XXXXXXX) (optional) is descriptive.
Next	Part program commands for the first program.
Divide	% (Optional)
	Where % is the file separator
n2	0xxxxxxxx (XXXXXXX)
	Where Onnnnnnnn is the second line for the next program up to 8 digits. O is a capital o. nnnnnnnn is the program number up to 8 digits. (XXXXXXX) (optional) is descriptive.
