Cycle parameters
U
Type of approach/departure Q390: Definition of the
type of approach or departure.
Q390 = 1:
Approach the contour tangentially on a circular arc.
Q390 = 2:
Approach the contour tangentially on a straight line.
Q390 = 3:
Approach the contour at a right angle.
U
Radius compensation (0=R0/1=RL/2=RR) Q391:
Definition of the radius compensation:
Q391 = 0:
Machine the defined contour without radius
compensation
Q391 = 1:
Machine the defined contour with compensation to
the left
Q391 = 2:
Machine the defined contour with compensation to
the right
U
Approach/departure radius Q392: Only in effect if
tangential approach on a circular path was selected.
Radius of the approach/departure arc. Input range 0 to
99999.9999
U
Center angle Q393: Only in effect if tangential
approach on a circular path was selected. Angular
length of the approach arc. Input range 0 to
99999.9999
U
Distance to auxiliary point Q394: Only in effect if
tangential approach on a straight line or right-angle
approach was selected. Distance to the auxiliary point
from which the TNC is to approach the contour. Input
range 0 to 99999.9999

Do you have a question about the ITNC 530 - CYCLE PROGRAMMING and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Can I change the approach direction when cycle def a stud to avoid obstruction to the right
The provided context does not explicitly mention changing the approach direction to avoid obstruction. However, it describes selecting different axis configurations using the MOD function in the Programming and Editing mode. If modifying the axis configuration allows for adjusting the approach direction, it may be possible. Otherwise, specific cycle parameters should be checked in the programming manual.
