Defining contour descriptions

With the DECLARE CONTOUR function you enter in a program the path for
programs from which the TNC draws the contour descriptions. In
addition, you can select a separate depth for this contour description
(FCL 2 function):

Show the soft-key row with special functions.

Select the menu for functions for contour and point

machining.

Press the DECLARE CONTOUR soft key.

Enter the number for the contour designator QC, and

confirm with the ENT key.

Enter the full name of the program with the contour

description and confirm with the END key, or if
desired,

Define a separate depth for the selected contour.

With the given contour designators QC you can include the
various contours in the contour formula.

If you program separate depths for contours, then you
must assign a depth to all subcontours (assign the depth 0
if necessary).
