DT and DAM (dwell time and path length)
These parameters can be used to achieve an interruption of the individual roughing steps after certain distances traversed in
order to carry out chip breaking. These parameters are only relevant for roughing. The parameter DAM is used to define the
maximum distance after which chip breaking is to be carried out. In DT, an appropriate dwell time (in seconds) can be
programmed which is carried out at each of the cut interruption points. If no distance is specified for the cut interruption
(DAM=0), uninterrupted roughing steps without dwell times are created.
