Short backstory:
I just started a new job, and the company is going to train me on writing my own programs, so they can just hand me a print and walk away. I am competent on manual machines, and worked at a CNC shop for a year about a decade ago. At that shop I was a machine tender (my own descrition) as it was load a part, hit the big green button....the most complicated stuff I had to do was offset for tool wear at that job (Fanuc controls, G-, M-, S- codes).
At this new job, they are aware of my past exp, and I was very careful to explain my (lack of) experience w/ CNCs in General. They've got me shadowing an experienced guy for the next few weeks, but then they want me to be able to start writing my own simple programs.
Day one was observing/training on a Mazatrol VTC-20B PC-Fusion-CNC with a 640M conversational controller. Any place I can find some kind of tutorial or operator's manual or similar (either online or downloadable) so I can do some home study?
