Programming notes

You can mix Q parameters and fixed numerical values within a
program.

When you are writing a part program, press the “Q” key (in the
numeric keypad for numerical input and axis selection, below the +/–
key). The TNC then displays the following soft keys:

Some Q parameters are always assigned the same data by
the TNC. For example, Q108 is always assigned the
current tool radius (see “Preassigned Q Parameters,”
page 360).
