from the menu bar.

to turn the Strip CRs feature on and off. The
Strip CRs feature will remove excess carriage returns from the G-
Code program as it is received from the CNC.
3. Select
Yes
or
No
to turn the Leader feature on and off. When
Leader is turned on, nulls will be sent at the beginning and end of
the program. This may fix problems sending to the CNC.
4. Enter a number between 50 and 2,000,000 in the send delay
box
. The number represents the time delay
between each packet of data sent to the CNC. Larger numbers
will increase the delay and send the program at a slower speed.
This may fix buffer overflow errors on the CNC.
