 ===== Cutcharts =====
-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
-{{mycnc:mycnc-cutchart-export-csv.png}}
+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}}
-Parameters List that can be stored in Cutchart is shown in a table below
+These delimiters allow the file to distinguish between different entries that are typed in. The file should now be ready to use.
