I`ve just downloaded the trial software mainly to test on a Kinwa Lathe with a Fanuc 20-TA Control.
I also have Mazaks in my business with both T32-2 and T Plus controls. Will this software be able to handle Mazatrol files?

Fanuc shouldn`t be a problem.

But many Mazatrol controls use, by default, a `conversational` language which only communicates with Mazak`s own proprietary devices and off-line programmers using a special protocol.

easyDnc won`t communicate using that special protocol but most mazatrol controls also have an option to set the control to communicate using ISO which is an industry standard format which you can use with easyDnc.

I have the following settings for T32 M2 and TPlus

I1 = 2
I2 = 3
I3 = 0
I4 = 0
I5 = 3
I6 = 3
I7 = 1
I8 = 5
I9 = 0
I10 = 1
I11 = 1
I12 = 0
I13 = 0
I14 = 0
I15 = 30
I16 = 0
I24 = 0
I58 0000 0000

Don`t bother with easyDnc portscan -just set manually as follows
Mode = None
BaudRate = 4800
Databits = 7
Parity = Even
StopBits = 2
FlowControl XonXoff (don`t use the `Wait` options)

Leave all the other settings at their defaults.

Using those settings you should be able to communicate with your T32/TPlus using easyDnc (dncxp)

So just before i try this.
Does this mean that the PC can store the files for reuse its just that they cannot be manipulated in the PC.

Yes, that's exactly what he meant

Will this sae process work in the new easydnc 5.0 running on a windows 7 computer?

Sorry, not sure what you mean by SAE process. But of you mean "same" process then yes, should work.
