When drilling a hole, the Number of Cycles refers to the number of
times the drill retracts to clear the debris from the hole. If Distance is
used instead, it would mean how deep the drill plunges before it
retracts.
Similarly, if milling, and using a flat end mill, Distance will mean the
depth of each pass. Number of Cycles will mean how many times the
end mill make a pass, cutting material away each time.
 Highlight the Peck/Pass field, and enter either the Number of Cycles
or the Distance between each cut. This applies to the Z axis depth
of cut.
 Highlight the Stepover field, and enter either the Percentage of the
of the tool’s diameter, or a Distance to be used for milling pockets.
 Highlight the Angles field and select Degrees, or DMS.
 Highlight the Res. Inch and Res. MM fields to select the desired
display resolution for the DRO display.

when a running program and encounters a manual Z operation

mode the user has it in. The selected option will be the default for
the dialogues and can only be changed in Job Setup.

field graphic assistant in a step form or set to Automatic for
