Diameter/Radius programming
In turning mode, diameter/radius programming can be selected but not
in milling mode.
If a diameter-specified command for an axis is executed in turning
mode, the coordinate position of the same axis for milling mode is to
be updated normally(by a radius amount).
On the other hand, if a radius-specified command for an axis is
executed in milling mode, the coordinate position of the same axis for
turning mode is to be updated by a diameter amount if specified so.
NOTICE
When least command increment is different between the turning mode
and the milling mode, the axis might move in some cases at the
moment of switching the mode.
2.2.9
Input increments ( Metric input / Inch input )
As for input increments, metric input and inch input can be selected.
Input increments are common in turning mode and milling mode.
The change between input increments is done with the setting
parameter and G code(G20/G21).
