2.2 Program defaults for cycles
Overview
All Cycles 20 to 25, as well as all of those with numbers 200 or
higher, always use identical cycle parameters, such as the set-up
clearance Q200, which you must enter for each cycle definition.
The GLOBAL DEF function gives you the possibility of defining
these cycle parameters at the beginning of the program, so that
they are effective globally for all machining cycles used in the
program. In the respective machining cycle you then simply link to
the value defined at the beginning of the program.
The following GLOBAL DEF functions are available:
