MC_1159:
XY retract amount
Sets user definable distance the tool will
back away on the X-axis or Y-axis after
it touches the probe.
Range (0.0100–25.400)
0.0000 [Default]
MC_1160:
Z rapid to start
position from home
Set the longest tool in the spindle and
bring the Z-axis to machine home. With
a tape measure, measure the distance
from the tool tip to within 0.5” (12.7 mm)
above the top of the probe stylus and
enter that number. When using G151,
this will cause the tool to rapid to this
position in the Z-axis before starting the
initial probe touch in the Z-axis.
Range (0.0000–999.0000)
0.0000 [Default]
MC_1161:
Diameter of tool probe
gauge
Sets the probe calibration standard
diameter.
Range (0.1000–508.0000)

MC_1162:
Positioning feedrate
normally
Feedrate used for positioning the probe
in protected mode.
Typical value: 200 inches/minute (IPM).
