Using Valid Parameter Ranges
All parameters entered in an entry field must be within the valid range for
the parameter. If the value entered is not within the valid range, an error
message is displayed. The error message shows the valid range for the
parameter. Pressing
F10
or
CLEAR
can clear the error message. Once
the error message is cleared, you can enter another value. The previous
value can be restored by pressing
UP ARROW
and then
ENTER
.

Units of Measurement
The Units of Measurement parameter specifies the units used to enter
dimensional data. If you are using mixed data, input data in one format
(inch or mm) first. Change the format (inch or mm) and enter the rest of
the data. You can change the units as many times as you need to. By
using the proper units you do not need to convert values, but can enter
data precisely (that is, no rounding during conversion). See
MC_1002:
Default units
. [Default:
Inch
]
All dimensional data will be displayed according to the units specified in
this parameter.
6400M
The only exception to this rule is the dimensional parameter
corresponding to rotary axes. If the auxiliary axis (that is, U) is configured
as a rotary axis, then the unit is always in degrees or degrees per minute
(that is, deg/min).
