MACHINING
For cycle machining, an arbitrary figure consisting of circles and
straight lines can be entered by performing automatic calculation on
entered data to obtain the end point of each figure even if no end point
is specified on the drawing.
(1) Entering start points
Be sure to enter a start point for the beginning of an arbitrary
figure.
After entering necessary data, press [OK].
(2) Selecting a figure
A menu for figure selection is displayed on soft keys as shown
below. Select whatever is necessary.
(3) Entering figure data
When a figure is selected, a figure data entry window appears. In
this window, enter the figure data specified on the drawing.
There are two types of data input items. One type includes those
entered as numbers, and the other type, those selected from a
menu displayed using a soft key. For the first type, the message
"KEY IN NUMERALS." is displayed in the lower section of the
window. For the second type, the message "SELECT SOFT
KEY" is displayed.
