I have a Bridgeport Interact Series I MKII. I have the parameters and can manually enter them but I don’t know the correct keystrokes to save them and move on. I never get it to switch to English (from German). I have replaced the buffer batteries and it’s easy enough to enter the parameters (although time consuming) but I just can’t figure out how to exit from the parameter screen and have them save. Also, the parameter sheet talks about a “polar” key. What is that?

I’m hoping someone can help. Thanks for your time.

Polar key is the red P on the numeric keyboard. It's for switching to polar coordinates.

Hi Brad,
Not sure which controller you have so your mileage might vary. I have the same machine with a TNC 151B controller and, if you are entering your parameters manually, you have to enter all 264 (MP0 - MP263) parameters. When you enter the very last one the controller will automatically bounce out of the parameter screen.
Hope this helps,
Les
