Description
A program is a series of instructions (written commands) for the machine, expressed as symbols and numbers. These instructions are
separated by EOB markers, with the information between two EOB markers forming one instruction. This single instruction between
two EOB markers is called a block. Each block, in turn, is composed of words.
The character code systems supported by the machine are ASCII, ISO, and EIA. Each character of ASCII data has a length of 7 bits,
whereas ISO and EIA characters are each 8 bits in length. The EOB marker differs according the code system. ASCII uses LF (line
feed), or NL (new line).ISO uses LF , and EIA uses CR (carriage return).
Refer to "Character Code Table (ISO, EIA, and ASCII)" for a table of the character code systems. The character code system is selected
from the machine. Refer to the User's Manual 3 Cutting Using NC-Codes for a description of the setting procedure.

A text string appearing between a “(” and “)” is considered to be a comment and is skipped over during program execution. Comments
can be useful for noting a program's revision history, describing the content of a program, indicating cautions regarding cutting time, and
