Use these fields to program multiple grooves:
• NUMBER—defines the number of grooves to be repeated.
• OFFSET—defines the distance between the original groove and the first copy
(from the start of one groove to the start of the next), as identified in the on-
screen graphic.
The on-screen graphic on the Patterns tab is based on the Orientation selection in the
Geometry tab:
