In two–path systems, the soft keys and menu for selecting machining
types on the program edit screen can show all machining types that can
be used with tool posts 1 and 2 regardless of the unit of the current process.
This function is made available by parameter setting.
The following are enabled by parameter setting:
(1) The menu of machining types covers all types that can be used with
tool post 1 or 2.
(2) When a new process is created, a tool post is determined
automatically as follows:
D If only one of tool posts 1 and 2 can be used for a selected
machining type, the tool post that can be used is determined.
D If both tool posts can be used for a selected machining type, a tool
post is determined according to the setting of bit 0 (HDS) of
parameter No. 9763 (specification of the method of automatically
determining a tool post).
NOTE
1 When the complex lathe function is used, the spindle to be
selected automatically during creation of a new process is
determined according to the previous spindle selection.
2 The function for determining automatic insertion of tool post
selection can also be disabled by setting bit 0 (NHD) of
parameter No. 9769 to 1.
(3) Only the unit (tool post) selection soft keys that can be used are
displayed. Soft keys that cannot be used are not displayed and are
replaced by blanks.
When bit 0 (HDS) of parameter No. 9763 is set to 1, parameter No. 9791
(CAXIS1) is set to 11, and parameter No. 9792 (CAXIS2) is set to 5, the
