    Citizen M20 code help or programming manual

    Hi Everyone. I have a 1997 Citizen M20 Type I that I bought and I am trying to learn how to use.
    I bought an operators manual for it, but it came without Chapter 5, which of course is the section on programming.
    Right now, I am in need of deciphering the line below.
    !3L10
    But I would really love to get the complete programming info.

    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    !3L10 is a waiting code. which ever $ you are seeing this in, whether $1, or $2, it will wait on this line until $3 is finished working and get to line !1L10 or !2L10. then both programs will continue to run.



    !1!3L1- Queuing between lines $1-$3. Used as waiting commands to make $1
    wait for $3 or $3 wait for $1. Or $1,$2, and $3 wait together.

    !1= line $1

    !3= line $3

    L1= queuing reference #. 1-9999. Also "L" does not have to be in order.

    Example...

    O1234(queuing example)
    $1 $3

    !1!3L5 (10 seconds of CNC commands)
    !1!3L5 ($3 and $1 wait until on !1!3L5 then continue)

    !1!3L1 !1!3L1 ($3 and $1 wait until on !1!3L1 then continue)


    -You can also use it this way, leaving out the "!?" for the line you
    are in.

    O1234(queuing example does the same as above)
    $1 $3

    !3L5 (10 seconds of CNC commands)
    !1L5 ($3 and $1 wait until on !1!3L5 then continue)

    !3L1 !1L1 ($3 and $1 wait until on !1!3L1 then continue)
