Select a process. Refer to the system installer’s documentation for
details on selecting a process, or press the [PROC SELECT] key.

Select a boundary number to enter by using one of these two
methods. Press:

the {MORE ZONES} softkey, or press the [

• ] key while holding

down the [SHIFT] key.

the {SEARCH NUMBER} softkey. Enter the desired boundary
number to search for and press the [TRANSMIT] key.

This boundary number is typically the same as the tool geometry
number (H-word) that is active when the tool and/or fixture is being
controlled. Refer to your system installer’s documentation for details
on which tool or fixture corresponds to which interference boundary
number (1-32).

Use the up or down cursor keys to move the block cursor to the
interference area parameter to be changed. The selected field appears
in reverse video.

If necessary, change the measurement units by using MDI. Units
currently used in the table are determined by the current mode of the
process (G20 inch or G21 metric).
