-myCNC software supports cutcharts. Cutting parameters like **Cutting speed**, **Process current**, **Arc voltage reference**, **Ignition Height**, **Pierce height**, **Pierce time**, **Cutting height**, **Kerf compensation** and others can be loaded from Cutcharts depends on Plasma power source, materail type, material thickness. +myCNC software supports cutcharts. Cutting parameters such as **Cutting speed**, **Process current**, **Arc voltage reference**, **Ignition Height**, **Pierce height**, **Pierce time**, **Cutting height**, **Kerf compensation** and others can be loaded from the Cutcharts depending on the plasma power source, materiel type, material thickness and gases/nozzles used. 
  
-Cutchart database stored in myCNC software as SQLite database file. Database can be filled manually or imported automatically from XML or CSV file format.+Cutchart database is stored in the myCNC software as an SQLite database file. The database can be filled manually or imported automatically from an XML or CSV file format.
  
-Comma Separated Values (CSV) is widely used text format. XLS/ODT files can be easily saved as **CSV** from Libre Office Calc or Microsoft Excel.+====Importing the cutchart database==== 
 +In order to import the cutchart database: 
 +  * Go to the myCNC Downloads page, scroll down to **Plasma Cutting Cutcharts** and download the necessary cutchart file (note whether you are downloading an SQLite or a CSV file) 
 +  * Move the downloaded file to the folder from which the SQLite files are loaded  
 +     * Ubuntu Mate: /opt/myCNC  
 +{{:mycnc:cutcharts-003-folder.png}} 
 +      * * Tinkerboard computers: /home/USERNAME/myCNC/ (usually /home/operator/myCNC/) 
 +{{:mycnc:cutcharts-007-tinkerboard.png}} 
 +  * Go to **Settings > Config > Technology > Cutcharts** 
 +{{:mycnc:cutcharts--001-main-settings.png}} 
 +  * In the **Cutcharts Database Filename** field, enter the file name that you would like to load into myCNC (for example, MAXPRO200.sqlite). 
 +{{:mycnc:cutcharts-005-maxpro200.png}} 
 +  * Save and reload the program. The file should now be loaded into the myCNC system.
  
-For example, select **Save as** in Libre Office menu, select **Text CVS** and choose in CSV options - {{mycnc:mycnc-cutchart-export-csv-0.png}} +====CSV files==== 
-  * ";" as field delimeter + 
-  * "" (empty) as text delimeter+Comma Separated Values (CSV) is a widely used text format. XLS/ODT files can be easily saved as **CSV** files directly from Libre Office Calc or Microsoft Excel. 
 + 
 +For example, select **Save as** in Libre Office menu, select **Text CVS** and choose the following in the CSV options: 
 +{{mycnc:mycnc-cutchart-export-csv-0.png}} 
 +  * ";" as field delimiter 
 +  * "" (empty) as text delimiter
  
 {{mycnc:mycnc-cutchart-export-csv.png}} {{mycnc:mycnc-cutchart-export-csv.png}}
  
- +These delimiters allow the file to distinguish between different entries that are typed in. The file should now be ready to use.
