There are two versions of UGS: Classic and Platform, both have their relative benefits.

Classic provides a clear and simple interface. Some functions such a Z probe can be added by writing macros from scratch. Setting this up manually can help develop an understanding of the process of controlling CNC machines.

On the other hand, Platform has more built-in features to support a streamlined workflow.

This guide is intended as a quick start guide to get up and running with UGS Platform 2.0.
