If you are not familar with G-Code format, here is more info (From Wikipedia):

G-codes are also called preparatory codes, and are any word in a CNC program that begins with the letter "G". Generally it is a code telling the machine tool what type of action to perform, such as:

Rapid move (transport the tool through space to the place where it is needed for cutting; do this as quickly as possible)

Controlled feed move in a straight line or arc

Series of controlled feed moves that would result in a hole being bored, a workpiece cut (routed) to a specific dimension, or a profile (contour) shape added to the edge of a workpiece

Set tool information such as offset

Switch coordinate systems
