I have a fairly new Prototrak LPM machine with a PMX control. What I need to know is if there is anyone out there that can tell me if it is possible to put a Program Stop into a conversational program. I would have assumed it would be in the aux functions but have not been able to find one. Now I know the machine can do it because I've use a M00 program stop in the GCD mode. Why on earth would they not have that function in conversational

My second question is if you are writing a program in G code for this machine can anyone tell me the process of turning on cutter compensation (G41,G42) In all the machines I have ever programmed in turned in on a line move. In conversational mode on this machine all you do is give it the Coordinates of the center and what side of the cut it will be on
(other variables also like # passes, rpm etc).

any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
