Use this feature to change the values set for the single--digit feedrates.
When a single--digit F--word is encountered during block execution, the
control looks to the single--digit feedrate table for a feedrate. The feedrate
in this table corresponding to the single digit then becomes the active
feedrate. For more details on single--digit feedrate F--words, refer to
chapter 18.
If you are using a dual--processing system, single--digit feedrate values
operate differently. Refer to page 30-5 for details.
Important: Feedrates must always be entered into the single--digit feedrate
table in units of inches per minute (IPM) or millimeters per minute
(MMPM), depending on the current active feedrate mode (G70/71).
To display or alter the values in the single--digit feedrate table, follow these
steps:
1. Press the
{SYSTEM SUPORT}
softkey.
2. Press the
{PROGRAM PARAM}
softkey.

3. Press the
{F1 - F9}
softkey to display the single--digit feedrate table
as shown in Figure 3.12.
Important: Feedrates are displayed in inch or metric depending on which
is the active mode. IPM (inches per minute) or MMPM (millimeters per
minute) is displayed at the top of the screen, indicating the currently active
mode.
4. Use the up or down cursor keys to move the block cursor to the
feedrate parameter to be changed. The selected feedrate appears in
reverse video.
5. Change feedrate values in two ways:
Press This Softkey: Then:
{REPLCE VALUE} type in the new value. Press [TRANSMIT]. The
value typed in replaces the old value for that
feedrate.
{ADD TO VALUE} type in the new number. Press [TRANSMIT].
The value typed in is added to the old value for that
feedrate.
