After a file has been saved on the CNC, it is assigned the .txt file extension.

different file extensions, are overwritten during multiple file downloads. A warning is
displayed at the control before a file is overwritten.
The list of acceptable part program types is listed in the lower half of the of the Files
option box. A checkmark (

will be displayed at the control. Note that the checkmark (
√) in the file extension listing
also indicates the file extension that is placed on a part program when uploading a file to
the host.
