u01 files are data files created by Barudan embroidery machines and software. These files store information about the design and stitching for a given embroidery job. They are used to transfer embroidery designs between machines and software, and are typically used in commercial embroidery operations.
A .tap file with G-code is a CNC machining program, a text list of tool movements written by CAM software for controllers such as Mach3; unrelated to embroidery .tap files.
