Fundamentals

SL cycles and the simple contour formula enable you to form
contours by combining up to 9 subcontours (pockets or islands) in
a simple manner. You define the individual subcontours (geometry
data) as separate programs. In this way, any subcontour can be
used any number of times. The TNC calculates the contour from the
selected subcontours.
The memory capacity for programming an SL cycle
(all contour description programs) is limited to
128 contours.
elements depends on the type of contour (inside
or outside contour) and the number of contour
descriptions. You can program up to
246
