From your original thread:
Ok the big question...have a emblem i'm wanting to run. This is the program i had been given to try it out on now how do i get it to run on my machine...what blanks do i have to fill in and how do i upload to the Thermwood super control

just change the .txt to .nc if u wanna see how i c it:P
Not sure what this emblem looks like or how it was programmed, but you'll need to enter the correct values for your fixture offset (0,0 location), make sure your daylight values are correct for the tools being used, double check your ZSHIFT value....which is USUALLY equal to the material thickness....depending on how the program was made.

Also, you may want to add an M48 to the beginning of the program. This will allow you to use the FeedRate OverRide knob to control your Rapid movements...making crashes less likely.

As far as uploading the program to the controller, you can use a flashdrive if you have one....or network, 3 1/2 floppy (for older machines).

I HIGHLY recommend reading the SuperControl Manual for additional information to your questions. If you plan on running a lot of programs in the future, you may even consider coming in for our training classes.

Just save it to the supercontrol and open it from the open file command, not in nesting.
