We only use EIA on ours. Mazatrol is just an added bonus because it's the best Conversational programming machine on the planet. Additionally, Mazak somehow has the best EIA/G-Code control I've dealt with as far as Macro programming goes, and quite frankly blows the other's out of the water with the smooth/quick EIA and being able to simply put your finger on a line code and navigate screens. It's a shame Mazak doesn't boast how powerful the Smooth Mitsubishi controls are with EIA, compared to the competition like DMG that are also Mitsubishi controls but are very convoluted and don't have NEAR the simplicity compared to the Smooth controls and honestly stink in their Conversational programming compared to Mazatrol.
Is there a more in depth explanation for setting up the bits (F92, F93, F94 ...) somewhere. We have three mazak machines, all fairly new but all with different Smooth controls. Running an [x/c] [z/c] [z/x/c] code program from EIA is a bit of a pain. it would be nice to have a source of example programs for tuning centers with live tools. We often program on machine with smoothcam and insert EID code sub-programms that have to be created in CAM.
finally some EIA on the web, it has been impossible to find anything until now,,, so a little live milling is missing would be fantastic
Thank you for the comment!

Thanks for sharing this comment! We'll keep this in mind for future posts and episodes.

coming from a programming side of Mastercam and Esprit, this is very interesting. I want to learn it all, and this video is awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!

is EIA an acronym?
