I,m having trouble running a program that works on our MP32 6030 using format 2 but when wanting to run on our 88 control on our 8030 in format 1, I can't get the table to come forward to stop and change parts! I really did not want to change over to format 2, we have too many programs that I don't want to change yet!

Any help would be great!

Thats the problem with format 1, it always wants to go back to zero. From my expierience, it will always go back to 0,0, and from your E0X0Y10. at the end of the program, I'm guessing your home is at the cold start position and it ignores that and ends at X0Y0. If you set your home at X0. Y14.5, it should come back to you at the end of the program.

I always set my home at X0. Y9.5 on a 4020, just makes life easier since the post spits out E0X0Y0 at the end.

Changing the machine between format 1 and format 2 is very simple, just switch the machine over and change it back when done.
Change the format in "SETP" and reboot the machine - done deal

Megamoog--
If you are going to switch back and forth between Format 1 and 2 be careful! The tapping cycles program differently and also the use or non-use of the D word comes into play with CRC, cannned pocketing cycles and engraving. You could shoot your self in the foot here.
You could place an M0 at the mend of the program and then instead of an M2 or M30 to end it use M99 P(line#) to jump back to the top. This way you only will have one button press to continue instead of two.

Just add an M0 before M2 this will keep table from going to cold start position until hitting cycle start.
