- nesting of pieces into long bars
- display of the axes coordinates
- axes manual positioning
- setup/confirmation of the tools required to execute the programmed piece
- setup of the tools used on the system
- display of the program in execution
- display/modification of machine cycles parameters
- display/modification of axes parameters
- information about predefined working cycles
- information about CNC internal configuration
- diagnostic information
- graphic and textual information about work order execution data
- statistical information, in graphic format, about the system working time share
- connection to an optional external program to import pieces programmed by
means of office PCs
