Subprograms and program section repeats
If a machining sequence occurs several times in a program, you
can save time and reduce the chance of programming errors by
entering the sequence once and then defining it as a subprogram
or program-section repeat. If you wish to execute a specific
NCprogram section only under certain conditions, you also define
this machining sequence as a subprogram. In addition, you can have
an NCprogram call a separate NCprogram for execution.

Programming with Q parameters
Instead of programming numerical values in an NCprogram, you
enter markers called Qparameters. You can use the Qparameters
for programming mathematical functions that control program
execution or describe a contour.
In addition, programming with Q parameters enables you to measure
with the 3-D touch probe during the program run.
