#TIME Timing
It interrupts the execution of the program for the indicated time period
(in seconds).
The programming format is:
#TIME [<time>]
The brackets may be omitted when the time is programmed with a
constant or a parameter.
The dwell can also be programmed with the G04 function as described
in chapter "8 Additional preparatory functions" of this manual.
#SCALE Scaling factor
It may be used to enlarge or shrink the programmed parts. This way,
it is possible to make part batches with similar shapes but with different
dimensions with a single program. It is the same as function G72.
The programming format is:
#SCALE [<scale>]
After activating the scaling factor, all the programmed coordinates are
multiplied by the defined scaling factor until a new scaling factor is
defined or it is canceled (by programming a scaling factor of "1").
The chapter "7 Geometry assistance" of this manual offers a more
detailed description on how to program the scaling factor.
