I have a Kitamura Sonic Mill 3X which is basically a Mycenter with an upgraded control.

My first order of business is backing up all the parameters and changing out the battery. I think figured out how to backup the parameters as well as the PC data but I can't figure out how to backup the 8000 and 9000 programs. Here is where I'm stuck following these dirrections https://www.memex.ca/wp-content/uplo...ard-Manual.pdf

Press “LEFT ARROW’ soft key twice.
Press soft key “PROGRAM”.
Press “RIGHT ARROW” soft key twice.
Press “PUNCH” soft key.Press “ALL” soft key.

My problem is the only program page I get an option for PUNCH is the DIRECTORY (FLOPPY) page and if I do a PUNCH then ALL nothing outputs over RS232. I am not seeing any 8000 or 9000 programs in a directory anywhere. Should I be in MDI mode or something else? Should I be able to see the programs listed somewhere? Is it possible my machine didn't come with these programs? Hopefully they haven't been deleted. Per the instructions I have set parameter 8000 bit 0 to 1 and parameter 0011 bit 0 to 0 and parameter 2201 bit 0 to 0 as well.

This is my first Fanuc control and I'm having a real hard time figuring this out. I found manuals for the 15-MB control but not 15MA. I just got off the phone with Fanac and they are going to email me info to get an account setup so they could then get me a quote for the manuals. Can anyone recommend a better place to get manuals without screwing around with getting a quote?

Make sure that for programs 9000, parameter 2201 bit0 is set to "0"
and for programs 8000, parameter 11 bit0 is set to "0"

Thanks for the reply. I figured out how to get an option to PUNCH ALL programs (have to be in EDIT mode).

I have parameters 0011.1 and 2201.1 both set to zero. I can get regular machining programs to punch out but I don't get any 8000 or 9000 programs or even know where I could view them.

3202 Bit 6 as in PSR this allows dsiplaying of 8000 and 9000 programs in the Directory
