Defining the PLANE function
Show the soft-key row with special functions
Select the PLANE function: Press the TILT MACHINING
PLANE soft key: The TNC displays the available 
definition possibilities in the soft-key row
Selecting the function while animation is active
Activate animation: Set the SELECT ANIMATION ON/OFF soft key 
to ON
Start an animation for one of the definition possibilities: Press one 
of the available soft keys. The TNC highlights the soft key with a 
different color and begins the appropriate animation
To assume the currently active function: Press the ENT key or press 
the soft key of the active function again. The TNC continues the 
dialog and requests the required parameters.
Selecting the function while animation is inactive
Select the desired function directly via soft key. The TNC continues 
the dialog and requests the required parameters
Position display
As soon as a PLANE function is active, the TNC shows the calculated 
spatial angle in the additional status display (see figure). As a rule, the 
TNC internally always calculates with spatial angles, independent of 
which PLANE function is active.
During tilting (MOVE or TURN mode) in the Distance-To-Go mode (DIST), 
the TNC shows (in the rotary axis) the distance to go (or calculated 
distance) to the final position of the rotary axis.
