Operation Manual

Display Options

Select

DISPLAY OPTIONS

and press

ENTER

For each of the settings, a series of softkeys gives you
the available options.

ANGLES

lets you show angles as decimal degrees,

radians, or degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS)

INC DISPLAY

will let you see

INCREMENTAL TRAVEL

DISTANCE TO GO

in the DRO incremental

display. Incremental travel is the distance
from the start of the line to the tool; it reads 0
at the start. This is equivalent to “zero and go”
operation. If you're milling a line, distance to
go is the distance from the tool to the end of
the line; it reads 0 when you’re at the end.
This is equivalent to presetting a target and
machining to zero.

DISPLAY RESOLUTION

is the smallest increment of

motion shown in the DRO.

VERY HIGH

= .0001"

or .002 mm

HIGH = .0002"

or .005 mm

NORMAL

= .0005"

or .01 mm

LOW

= .001"

or .02 mm

POINT ENTRY

lets you select Cartesian for X-Y coordinates, or polar if you have a job

which has most of the dimensions in polar coordinates (radius and angles).

FROM POINT

lets you determine how

MILLPWR

will show the coordinates of the start of

a line (or arc) when it connects to the previous line. The

INCREMENTAL

setting

will show the

FROM

points like this:

Line 004, FROM:
X1 0.0000 INC 003
Y1 0.0000 INC 003

The

ABSOLUTE

setting will show the
