Display Options
From the “Setup” menu, select “Display Options” to customize the default settings for dis-
play resolution, point entry and similar items.
ANGLES allows you to define how you would like to enter angle
values—as decimal degrees, radians or degrees–minutes–seconds
(DMS). Select the angle default setting that satisfies your need most
often. In other words, if the angles are usually dimensioned in deci-
mal degrees, you should make
DECIMAL DEGREES the default set-
ting.
INC DISPLAY enables you to define how you want your incremental
DRO displays and the “From” and “To” fields for milling functions
to be displayed. Select either “Incremental Travel” or “Distance to
Go.”
• INCREMENTAL TRAVEL - In this view, the dimensions you
program will end at their programmed distance. If you program
a 1/4” move, the incremental display will read 0.2500” when
you reach the end of the move.
• DISTANCE TO GO - In this view, the dimensions you program will be "preset" into the
readout display. Every move will end at zero. If you program a 1/4” move, the incremen-
tal display will read 0.0000” when you reach the end of the move.
DISPLAY RESOLUTION lets you select the resolution you want to display in the DRO.
POINT ENTRY lets you decide what the default setting will be for entering dimensions for
both “From” and “To” points—as either Cartesian (X and Y) or Polar (radius and diameter)
coordinates. The method that you do not select will be available as a softkey when you are
defining “From” and “To” points.
