Some programming features provided by the Positip 880, 
such as Arcs, Blends and Chamfers, are not easily 
machined on a manually operated machine. These tool 
paths require two axes with simultaneously controlled 
motion. The Positip 880’s Contour View function provides 
a graphical method for the operator to approximate these 
tool paths. See "Contour View" on page 81for details 
regarding this function.
