Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then. - Location: Sunny Brighouse

I'm still not sure what binary notation would have to do with part programs unless they are talking about punch paper tape. This used to store part programs as binary 1's and 0's - the old CNC would then receive each row of binary and read them as the ASCII characters that made up the part program.
