PU,2 will output the active program.

Other Output options for CNC Programs:

** PU,0 will output the active program and tooling data.

PU,1 will output the tool data only.

PU,3 will output all programs in memory.

PU,4 will output parameters and backlash.

** Do not use PU,0 when saving programs and then sending program to different Fadal controls.  This will cause you to redo all tool offset settings.
