55 ENABLE DNC FROM MDI
This is an On/Off setting. When it is off, DNC cannot be selected. When it is turned on, DNC is selected by
pressing MDI while already in MDI. The DNC option must be enabled in the control.
56 M30 RESTORE DEFAULT G
This is an On/Off setting. When it is off, no change to the modal G codes occurs at the end of a program
(normally M30). When it is on, an M30 will reset all of the modal G codes to their defaults. If this setting is on,
RESET will also reset defaults.
57 EXACT STOP CANNED X-Y
This is an On/Off setting. When it is off, the rapid X-Y motion associated with a canned cycle may not get
exact stop; according to other conditions. When it is on, the X-Y motion always gets exact stop. This will
make canned cycles slower but less likely to run into a close tolerance fixture.
58 CUTTER COMPENSATION
This setting controls the type of cutter compensation used in the control. The types are similar to the method
of cutter compensation available in other classes of controls.
59 PROBE OFFSET X+
60 PROBE OFFSET X-
61 PROBE OFFSET Y+
62 PROBE OFFSET Y-
Settings 59 through 62 are used to define the displacement and size of the spindle probe. These numbers only
apply to the probing option. These four numbers specify the travel distance in four directions from where the
probe is triggered to where the actual sensed surface is located. They are used by G31, G36, G136, and M75.
They can be both positive and negative numbers. If the probe width were 0.23 inches in diameter and the probe
was set exactly at the center of the spindle, these four settings would all be 0.115 inches.
63 TOOL PROBE WIDTH
This setting is used to specify the width of the probe that is used to test tool diameter. This setting only applies
to the probing option. It is used by G35.
64 T. OFS MEAS USES WORK
This is an on/off setting. It changes the way the TOOL OFSET MESUR button works. When this is ON, the
entered tool offset will be relative to the currently selected work coordinate Z offset. When it is OFF, the tool
offset equals the Z machine position.
65 GRAPH SCALE (HEIGHT)
This setting specifies the height of the work area that is displayed on the graphics sceen. The maximum size
is automatically limited to default height. The default shows the machine's entire work area. A specific scale
can be set by using the following formula. The default of the setting is the total Y travel.
Total Y travel = Parameter 20 / Parameter 19 (16.25 VF-0 through VF-2)
Scale = Total Y travel / Setting 65
66 GRAPHICS X OFFSET
This setting locates the right side of the scaling window relative to the machine X zero position, (See "Displays"
section). Its default is zero.
