6.9.3 ACCESS TO THE ARITHMETIC PARAMETER TABLE
The CNC stores the values of the arithmetic parameters in a table. These values may
be modified when executing parametric blocks or by accessing this table in the editing
mode.
Press
to access the Editing mode and then press [F1] [P]. The information displayed
by the CNC will look like this:
The upper display shows the parameter number
currently selected.
The lower display shows the value of this parameter.
The CNC offers 100 (00/99) arithmetic parameters. They may have a sign, decimals
and may be expressed in exponential format.
When the CNC uses the exponential format, the last two digits indicate that exponent.
0.98700 -1
Is the same as 0.98700 10
-1
1298700 7
Is the same as 1298700 10
7
Displaying parameters
To see the previous and following parameters use keys
When few arithmetic parameters are used, the CNC allows, in order to simplify operator
handling, using only the first parameters of each ten and properly setting machine
parameter "P93".
Examples:
With machine parameter "P93=0" the CNC will display all the arithmetic parameters.
With machine parameter "P93=1" the CNC will display the following parameters:
P0-P1 P10-P11 P20-P21 P30-P31 ..... P90-P91
With machine parameter "P93=2" the CNC will display the following parameters:
P0-P1-P2 P10-P11-P12 P20-P21-P22 P30-P31-P32 .... P90-P91-P92
Access to a particular parameter
To access a particular parameter, do the following:
- Press key [CL] twice. The CNC will clear the 2 windows.
- Introduce the number of the parameter that you wish to display.
- Press key [RECALL]
The CNC will display the value of this parameter.
