I wanted to post this so the next person wouldn't have as much trouble as I did figuring out the proprietary G codes that Bridgeport used on the EZ Path S control.
To see the code that the machine is using to run a program one can either look at the bottom of the screen while running the program in single block. The G code that is being executed in that block and the next block will be shown. The other option is to press the - (minus) button while on the "RUN" screen and the entire program's G code will be shown.
I know that most of the time using CAM software is unnecessary because of the conversational programing but I have needed to turn organic curves and Spline curves that would have been almost impossible with out CAM. Hopefully this helps avoid the frustration I went through figuring out how to program this machine.
Example of proprietary codes
G36 CONSTANT RPM ex: G36 S500
G37 CONSTANT SURFACE SPEED ex: G37 S150
G38 MAX RPM ex: G38 S1500
