Compumoter drive language

Hello Group,
I aquired a compumoter package that included 2 steppers, a power
supply and 2 cx microstepping drives. these drives seem real sweet
but I have some questions about using them. Does anyone know if
these drives can be used without using compumoter code.this is an
indexer/drive with eeprom memory. according to compumoters pdf.
programs can be selected with bdf switches,programmable controllers
or a computer via 232c interface. it goes on to say that the cx
series uses the same language as their other systems. I don't know if
this is just when using their computer interface. Would I be able to
control it with a g-code program or would I have to use their x-code.
It seems I read in another post that only compumoters software would
run their code. if this is true, it would rule out desknc,flashcut
and master5. Fortunately, I am in these parts reasonably enough that
I could shelf the drives and use geckos if need be, but it sure seems
a shame. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dale
