Description of the output fields
The header is as described in Section 5.6.2.2 "Generating Machining Programs".
The measuring system in which the displayed statement is to be interpreted can be seen
in the first output field after the header, The default unit is mm. Alternatively, "0.1 in" will be
displayed (G70 or G71 ).
Tool offset:
The current tool length offset is displayed here. Possible displays are "off" (G40), "nega-
tive" (G44) and "positive" (G43). "Off" is the default. Only the last selected G-function (G40,
G43 or G44) is displayed, not the resulting tool length offset. A change of sign, for ex-
ample, G44 with -10 mm is not taken into account.
Offset:
The last selected offset is displayed. Possible displays are "undef" (G53), "1 on" (G54), "2
on" (G55), "3 on" (G56) and"4 on" (G57). "Undef" is the default.
Dimensions:
The numerical values of the target functions (X functions) can be specified in "absolute"
Description of the input fields
Statement no.:
The statement number is entered here as a numerical value. The statement number can be
up to three digits long. It is not necessary to enter statements in ascending order. The in-
dividual statements are processed in the order in which they are entered, regardless of the
statement number.
Statement type:
Using the help key, you can select one of the three possible statement types "main" (':N'),
"normal" ('N') and "'suppressible" ('/N').
L-function:
Here you enter the subroutine number to be called by the current program. Once you
have entered a subroutine number, the text "subroutine no." is displayed before the input
field.
G-function:
Using the help key, you can display the possible G-functions. Entry of other values is re-
jected as an error.
X-function:
Here, you enter the target. The maximum range is +/- 99999.999. The value is either inter-
preted as a distance (with G91) or as an absolute coordinate (with G90).
F-function:
Depending on the previous functions, either the feed rate (following an X-function), a dwell
time (following G04) or the number of repetitions (following G24) is entered. The appro-
priate text ("feed rate ", "loop run through" or "dwell time") is displayed before this input
field and the appropriate dimension after the input field.
