There is a letter O in the program instead of 0 (zero)

Maybe the software should look for this kind of thing and tell you about it though :oops:

can this be used to operate the machine
Yes - you'll need a spare RS232 COM port on the PC.

Then go into Setup > Machine Parameters (denny) > Input/Output Devices and set the COM port number (default is 0) which the tutor is connected to (eg 2 for COM2:)
