Use this feature to select the plane that is used to program the different
QuickView features. This determines what plane is displayed for the
prompting and their axis names displayed for the prompts. You cannot
select any parallel planes with the QuickView feature; only primary planes

Your system installer determines the primary planes established by G17,
G18, and G19 in AMP. See page 13-1 for details on the plane selection.
To set the plane to program in with the QuickView feature, follow these
steps:
1. From the QuickView menu, press the
