I supposed this question is directed at Pat Moore, our friendly Strong representative, but anyone's input would be apprieciated.

The screens I service have both the Strong CPA-10 automation and the Strong CNA-200. In the interest of standardization, I have been trying to program all of these machines with the exact same programs. All of my CNA-200's are now standardized so my question, then, is this; is the programming "language" interchangeable between the CNA and the CPA?
In other words, could I make a hand-written copy of the CNA programs, input them into the CPA and expect it to run the same program?

Hi Nic -- Thanks! I have friendly moments, anyway...

As I remember the last version of the CPA-10 Software, the program instructions are very similar to the CNA-200's. The exception might be the instructions used for intermission, but those are pretty seldom used.

I'm out of the office but if you need some additional information let me know...
