My friend got a great deal on a Roboform 350.
All he wants to do is burn hex ends into bolts.
The program needs to touch in -Z, zero, OD centerfind, zero, position to zeros (or maybe even +.025" in Z) and rough burn .5" Z deep.

I'm looking at this manual and don't see a simple way to do this.
I'll figure out how to do it via their 20 screen question and answer, but I'm really hoping someone can tell me the "easy way" to run this machine.

What ever happened to good ole G-code???

I should add some more details...
It is a FO 350 s.

I have learned a bit and am now having a problem in the Preparation of job/EDM section.
I have everything filled out correctly (as far as I think) and get a "Unanticipated Error" when pressing the "Generate EDM shape" button.
The error details read, "Source=Generate EDM;System error number=3265 Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal"

Here are my screens:
