2.3.2.2 Manual Numerical Command Operation on the TOOL DATA Screen (M, T)
When
carrying out a manual numerical command of the TOOL OFFSET screen, the mode must first be
changed from the normal data setting mode to the manual numerical command mode. M and T commands
can be executed by screen operation in this mode.
(1) Changing from the normal data setting mode to the manual numerical command mode
A cursor appears in the data setting area in the normal data setting mode, but a cursor does not appear in
the manual numerical command mode. Confirm that the mode has changed over by checking this
difference.

manual numerical command mode.
The data in the setting area is cleared,
and the cursor disappears from the
screen.

1. Press the address key corresponding to the command. The display area of the corresponding
command value is highlighted, and a manual numerical command input status results. Execute tool
function commands with "T", and miscellaneous function commands with "M".
2. Key-input the numerical value to be commanded.
3. Press the [INPUT] key. The command is executed.
(Note) The manual numerical command operation is the same as the operation on the POSITION screen.
