Offsets may be sent and received with the RS-232 port. Refer to the "Data Input / Output" section for a
description of how to do this.
When the COOLANT SPGT of Parameter 57 is enabled, the CLNT POS column of the offset display is acces-
sible. The spigot can be positioned when an M08 is encountered in a program. The current H code is used by
the M08 to determine where to position the coolant spigot. If offset #5 (H05) has 10 entered under the CLNT
POS column, the spigot will be moved to position 10. When the cursor is positioned on the CLNT POS
column, the current spigot position will be shown at the bottom of the display. If the spigot has not been
zeroed, the position will be blank.
The permissible values that can be entered into this column are controlled by Parameter 206, SPIGOT POSI-
TIONS. Entering a value of zero (0) indicates that the spigot will not be moved when an M08 code sequence is
encountered.
The following code sequence demonstrates how the spigot can be commanded:
Note: That the tool length and radius offset numbers usually are the same as the tool
number
