Operating area of the control.
A coordinate system which is related to the axes of the machine tool.
A fixed point on the machine tool which can be referenced by all
(derived) measurements systems.
A collections of instructions under a common identifier. The identifier

-> Parts program identified by a number or name in which further main
programs, subroutines or -> cycles may be called.
A mode in the control: Manual Data Automatic: In the MDA mode,
individual program blocks or block sequences with no reference to a
main program or subroutine can be input and executed immediately
afterwards through actuation of the NC start key.
All messages programmed in the parts program and -> alarms
detected by the system are displayed on the operator panel in plain
text with date and time as well as the appropriate symbol for the reset
criterion. Alarms and messages are displayed separately.
Standardized system of units: for lengths in millimeters (mm),
meters (m), etc.
Mirroring exchanges the leading signs of the coordinate values of a
contour in relation to an axis. Mirroring can be performed
simultaneously in relation to several axes.
"Module" is the term given to any files required for creating and
processing programs.
