D Circular Calculator - The Circular Calculator will list four different ways that a circular move can be pro-
grammed using the values entered for a calculated solution. Four different program lines for executing the
circular move will be listed at the bottom of the display. One of the four program lines can be transferred to either
EDIT or MDI.
1. In the circular calculator, cursor onto the program line you wish to use.
2. Press either EDIT or MDI , where you wish to insert the circular move.
3. Press the F3 key, which will transfer the circular move that you highlighted into the input buffer line at
the bottom of the EDIT or MDI display.
4. Press INSERT to add that circular command line into your program.
D One-Line Expressions - The CALC display will now accept and evaluate a simple expression. This is a new
feature; previously it was only possible to enter a number into the input line of the calculator. Now, the calcula-
tor allows you to enter a simple, one-line expression without parentheses, such as 23*4–5.2+6/2. It will be
evaluated when the WRITE/ENTER key is pressed and the result (89.8 in this case) displayed in the calculator
box. Multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction.
(Any Mill Control ver. 9.49 and above; any Lathe Control ver. 2.24 and above.)
SETNG
D Scrolling through Settings with Jog Handle - The jog handle can now be used to scroll through the
settings. In previous versions, the jog handle could only be used to scroll through (cursor-highlight) the param-
eters, but not the settings. This has been corrected.
(Any Mill Control ver. 10.15 and above; any Lathe Control ver. 3.05 and above.)
D There are so many Settings which give the user powerful and helpful command over their control, that you
should read the entire Settings section of the operator’s manual. Here are some of the useful settings to give
you an idea of what is possible.
Setting 1 - AUTO POWER OFF TIMER - This turns the machine off after it is idle for the number of minutes
defined in this setting.
Setting 2 - POWER OFF AT M30 - This will power off the machine when an M30 command is executed. In
addition, for safety reasons, the control will turn itself off if an overvoltage or overheat condition is
detected for longer than four minutes.
Setting 8 - PROG MEMORY LOCK - When this is Off, control program memory can be modified. When
this setting is turned On, memory edits cannot be done and programs cannot be erased.
Setting 9 - DIMENSIONING - This changes the machine control from inch to metric, which will change all
offset values and position displays accordingly. This setting will not change your program to either
inch or metric.
Setting 15 - H & T CODE AGREEMENT - When this is OFF, no special functions occur. When it's ON, a check
is made to ensure that the H offset code matches the tool presently in the spindle. Usually you
have one offset per tool, and it's usually the same number as the tool number. If it's not the same
and this setting is ON, you will get an alarm of H AND T NOT MATCHED. This check can help
prevent crashes. If you need to use a different offset number or more than just one, this setting will
need to be switched OFF. In program restart this check is not done until motion begins.
Setting 31 - RESET PROGRAM POINTER - When this is On, the RESET key will send the cursor
(program pointer) back to the beginning of the program.
