NC Code Setting
This section describes the setting of the NC code.
[NC code] tab
Tool-diameter Offset Type
This selects the type of correction (offset) for the tool diameter. The locus through which the tool passes
differs according to the offset type. For more information, refer to the "NC Code Reference Manual."
P. 3, "Viewing the NC Code Reference Manual"
Values with Decimal Point
This selects the method of interpretation for the numerical values in NC codes.
For the conventional method, values are interpreted as millimeters (or inches) when they contain a
decimal point, or as thousandths of a millimeter (or ten-thousandths of an inch) when no decimal point
is present.
With the calculator method, values are always interpreted as millimeters (or inches) regardless of whether
a decimal point is present.
When calculator-method interpretation is used, you choose the range of application for the method.
Optional Block Skip
This setting determines whether optional blocks are skipped.
[Tool-diameter Offset] tab
Offset
This sets the tool-diameter offset for NC codes. If the tool-diameter offset is not set by G10, these are
used.
