(a) Type A
(b) Type B
Notes
This is a global parameter. The value set here applies to all axes
and processes.
Function
This parameter allows for flexibility when entering the tool offset data into
the offset tables. This parameter determines if the values in the offset table
for the tool cutter compensation data are radius values or diameter values.
If they are entered as diameter values, set this parameter at “diameter”;
if they are radius values, set this parameter at “radius.”

Selection Result
(a) Diameter
(b) Radius
Notes
If this parameter is set at “diameter,” the control uses half of the value
entered in the table as the compensation data for wear and geometry.
This is a global parameter. The value set here applies to all axes.
