Hello,

I have an old matsuura mv500 mill with a yasnac mx1. I would like to know how to delete programs. I have started to send code to the machine through cimco and everytime I hit tape in the buffer reads more old codes in and I have to delete them block by block. is there a mass delete function for the programs, I cant even find where to view the programs? The situation I am in now is

switch to edit,
press com,
press reset,
press tape in,
send program from machine,
when I go to look at the program in edit, it seems to have a bunch of the old program in there, even after I delete the old program block by block I can still hit tape in and the buffer light blinks and sends more old code in. any ideas of how to eliminiate the old code a little easier than line by line?

a picture of the control is attached.

thanks,
