3.10 Displaying G and auxiliary functions

While the workpiece is being machined, if you want to know, for
example, whether the tool tip radius compensation is currently active
or which unit of measurement is being used, you can activate display
of the G functions or auxiliary functions.
16 different G groups are displayed under "G function". Within a G-
group, only the G-functions that are currently active in the NCK
appear. In addition, you can see the currently active transformation in
the top line of the window.
As an alternative, all G groups with all associated G functions are
listed in "All G Func.".
Auxiliary functions include M and H functions preprogrammed by the
machine manufacturer, which pass parameters to the PLC to trigger
reactions defined by the manufacturer.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
A maximum of five M functions and three H functions are displayed.
You can have the G-functions that are currently active in the NCK
displayed during execution of a sequential control program too, since
the ShopTurn functions are internally translated into G-code.
Press the "G function" softkey in "Machine Manual" or "Machine
Auto" mode.
Instead of parameters T, F and S, the currently active G functions
within a G group will be displayed.
If you press the "G Function" softkey again, the "T, F, S" status display
reappears.
-or-
Press the "All G functions" softkey.
Instead of parameters T, F and S, all G groups with G functions are
now listed. If you select the "All G functions" softkey again, the "T, F,
S" status display reappears.
-or-
Press the "Auxiliary function" softkey.
Instead of parameters T, F and S, the currently active auxiliary
functions will be displayed. If you press the "Auxiliary function" softkey
again, the "T, F, S" status display reappears.
