Dialog 4 File Upload Question

When you upload a text file to the control (Mode 14), do the feed commands need decimal points? I was getting corrupt blocks when feeds had no decimals, but I did not have a chance to fix the post and try again with decimals. Fusion 360 outputs F20, even if I tell the CAM the feed should be F20.0. Fusion 360 outputs F20.1 if I tell it the feed rate should be F20.1. It likes to throw away the trailing decimal and digit if the digit is 0.

I tried baud rates from 9600 to 1200 and got the same corruption regardless, so i don't think the problem is with garbled characters during transfer.

Aside: You gotta love the horizontal mode on the FPxNCs for working the ends of long parts. There's no way I could face the ends of 6-ft sticks of aluminum rectangular tube on a normal VMC without a right-angle head. Of course to do pieces much longer, I'd have to chop a hole in the side of my garage.
