Introduction

Associated selection fields
There are selection fields for various parameters:
● Selection of units
● Changeover between absolute and incremental dimensions

In this mode, you can also enter simple calculation expressions, without having to explicitly call
the calculator.

Functions of the calculator
Function calls of the calculator are not available in the parameter screens of the cycles and
