Preparatory Functions: G-Codes
G-codes initiate motion commands, canned cycles, various machine
functions and other CNC capabilities. More than one G-code may be
specified per block. If a block contains conflicting G-codes, an error
message appears. Refer to Table 4-1, Modal and Non-Modal G-Codes
for
a list of modal and non-modal G-codes. Modal G-codes remain in effect
until canceled by the appropriate code.
Non-modal G-codes affect only the block in which they are programmed.
Once the non-modal block is completed, the Modes active before the
non-modal command take effect again. Non-modal G-codes have no
preset defaults.
In the subsections that describe individual G-codes, every attempt has
been made to show the most convenient method of programming each
code. There are usually several ways to program a G-code. Typically, if
a move type or G-code is covered in the Edit Help Menus or Edit Help
G-Code Menu, you should use these sources to program the code. In all
cases, you can program G-codes in the Edit Mode.
