Changing the mode
Jog move modes are performed at the currently active feedrate.
The active jog is selected by pressing the appropriate soft key,
then pressing the appropriate Arrow key to move the tool in the
direction required. The Up Arrow and Down Arrow move the tool
in the X axis. The Left Arrow and Right Arrow move the tool in the
Z axis.
Changing the jogging speed
The active jogging speed defaults to the max feed as determined
by the machine builder. The jogging speed may be changed by
pressing CLEAR. Enter the new speed in the dialogue and press
ENTER. The new value will remain active until set again or on the
next power up. The active jogging speed (at 100% override) is
displayed in the Jog Mode ATTENTION dialogue.
