Pressing [SELECT] create the block for calling the selected
subprogram as “M98 Pxxxx ;” in the actual part program.
It is specified by program number to be displayed in the subprogram

For turning cycle machining figure, the minimum and maximum
program number of the programs should be used as the subprogram
are set in the parameter No.14720 (TFIGSNO) and No.14721
(TFIGENO).
For milling cycle machining figure, the minimum and maximum
program number of the programs should be used as the subprogram
are set in the parameter No.14722 (MFIGSNO) and No.14723

figure menu window display.
But, in this case, all figure menus for all kind of cycle machining are
displayed in one screen. This is different from the figure menu

NOTE
The scroll bar displayed on the right edge of the
figure menu window indicates the approximate
position of the cursor throughout the figure menu.
If the scroll bar marker is on the middle of the scroll
bar, therefore, it is likely that part of the figure
menu is hidden behind the window. If this is the
case, pressing the ↓ cursor key makes the hidden
part visible.
