  • Page 187 Entering Target Z-Depth and Spark-Out Time (900E Only) – F 37 F 37 is used before a sparking cycle to set up the Target Z-Depth (the maximum electrode depth from the zero position at which the main sparking cycle stops). EDM Mode also allows you to set up the desired time duration for a Spark-Out cycle when you reach the Target Z-Depth.
