M-Series Operator’s Manual 4/9/15
If the drives are in Precision mode, pressing this key will start the Auto Delay Calculation procedure. It is used by
qualified technicians to automatically determine values for the Precision Mode delay parameters 340-347. The Auto
Delay Calculation procedure will make a single move on each non-paired controlled axis, traveling a limited distance
(configured via parameters 95-98 and 156-159) from the initial position. You cannot run the Auto Delay Calculation
procedure on paired axes. Do not run the Auto Delay Calculation procedure unless requested to do so by a qualified
technician.
F6 - Drag
This option is used by qualified technicians to determine whether your machine is binding anywhere along the axis
travel. To run a drag test press F6 - Drag to begin the drag test. Press F1 - Next Axis to select the axis you wish to
check and then hit the CYCLE START button. A text file drag_x.out, or a similarly named file is generated and stored
in the c:\cncm directory. If significant drag occurs, a message will be displayed on-screen. Contact your dealer to
correct the problem as soon as possible.

This option is used by qualified technicians to take automated laser measurements and create or adjust the ballscrew
compensation tables. Do not attempt to run automatic laser compensation without first contacting your dealer for
details.
