1.2 Parameters of the Subprogram Call
Specify in the call parameters of the subprogram the details of the
characters’ appearance.
8 L: Name of the subprogram (See “Character Set” on page 11.)
8 LA: Letter height in [mm]
8 LB: Rotated angle of the letter in [°]
„ Linear front face: 0° = Vertical characters: the characters are
aligned in sequence in positive XK direction
„ Polar front face: LB has no function
„ Lateral surface 0°: Characters are engraved from –CY to +CY
„ Lateral surface 90°: Characters are engraved from –Z to +Z
8 LC: Milling plane
„ Front face: Z position, infeed depth during milling
„ Lateral surface: X diameter, infeed depth during milling
8 LD: Retraction plane
„ Front face: Z position retracted to for positioning
„ Lateral surface: X diameter retracted to for positioning
8 LE: Engraving on the front face or lateral surface
„ 0: Front face
„ 1: Lateral surface
8 LF: Linear or polar alignment (only relevant for the front face)
„ 0: Characters are aligned linearly
„ 1: Characters are bent upwards over the center of the coordinate
cross
„ 2: Characters are bent downwards under the center of the
coordinate cross
8 LH: Reference diameter
„ Front face: Diameter over which the character string is engraved
with polar alignment
„ Lateral surface: Diameter for calculation of the unrolled lateral
surface (G120)
8 I: Separation factor – the separation between the characters is
calculated according to the following formula: LA / 6 * I
If I is not entered, I=1 is used for calculation
8 Q: Number of repetitions (can be used if the same character is to be
engraved immediately following)
