Step 1 : Select the CNC you want to analyze...

Step 2 : dncSoftware will automatically detect all your PC serial ports. Simply select the COM port you want to use.

Step 3 : You should now take a guess at the CNC range. (dncSoftware will cycle through all ranges, its just quicker if you have a rough idea)

The vast majority of CNC machines will fall into the Average category, between 2400 and 9600 baud. Slow is between 150 and 1200 baud (and in general is a much older CNC), whilst the Fast category is between 19200 and 115200 baud (in general a much more modern CNC).

Step 4 : You should now send out a file FROM YOUR CNC back to the computer and let dncSoftware cycle through the protocols, you will see garbage data gradually be replaced by legible data.

Step 5 : When detection has happened, you will go to this screen. You can then click "Store Settings Away" or click Cancel.
