Unit of Measurement

Application

This MOD function determines whether the coordinates are
displayed in millimeters (metric system) or inches.
To select the metric system (e.g. X = 15.789 mm), set the
Change MM/INCH function to mm. The value is displayed to 3
decimal places.
To select the inch system (e.g. X = 0.6216 inches), set the
Change MM/INCH function to inches. The value is displayed to
4 decimal places
If you would like to activate the inch display, the TNC shows the
feed rate in inch/min. In an inch program you must enter the feed
rate larger by a factor of 10.
