I'm new to cnc and thinking about getting a shark. My current cnc machine is controlled by running the ugs sender on my laptop.

Am I correct in that the shark cannot be controlled this way?

Am I restricted to the pendant?

Thank you!

In the event you want to run it from your computer the Controller Interface may
also be connected using a USB cable plugged into a USB 2.0 capable plug. This function will require you
to download and use the CNC Shark Control Panel software (check online for the latest version) used to
communicate to the controller. Then, just like the LCD Pendant you can use this interface to jog
(position) the gantry and router, load a project (tap) file, and run the project.
