I have gotten the software to download from machine to PC, but get no response from the Fagor 8025 control when sending from computer. The dncxp acts like its sending, but no communication at the machine.

Before trying this check the version of software you`re using. We`re currently somewhere round 2.11f
You need to be using at least 2.11 and not 2.1 Check the updates page on our website

The problem is possibly a missing `END` control code. The Fagor 8025 expects a special control code to arrive at the very end of the data transfer. Some machines just sit and wait for the end code and if it doesn`t come the whole file is ignored even though it was received. Basically the machine assumes that the file is not valid so even though the whole file was received it simply gets disgarded as if the control didn`t get any data at all.
The control code the Fagor expects is what we refer to as "ETX"
Look in easyDnc`s setup window and you see an `Advanced` button. (version 2.1 doesn`t have this button. 2.11 does have it) Click that button and you`ll see the selection for Start and End codes. I don`t think there`s a start code but make sure the end code is set to the option containing ETX.
If that doesn`t work try one of the other end codes such as the "EOT". Also try setting the start code to the option containing STX. (Try without first but if it fails try it with the STX)
