AND AUXILIARY MACRO FUNCTION

PROGRAMMING
38
The conversational macro function executes a program compiled by the
macro compiler independently of the normal NC part program. This
function basically is not affected by operation modes of NC .
Accordingly, it works concurrently with the NC part program under
execution independently even during the memory operation.
CAUTION
The execution of the conversational macro function is
processed at a lower level than that of the CNC operation
internally. Therefore, the execution of the conversational
macro function will not affect the processing speed of the
CNC operation, but the processing speed of the
conversational macro function may become slow while the
CNC operation is ON.
