Display Options
Select DISPLAY OPTIONS and press ENTER.
For each of the settings, a series of softkeys gives you
the available options.
ANGLES lets you show angles as decimal degrees,
radians, or degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS)
INC DISPLAY will let you see INCREMENTAL TRAVEL
or DISTANCE TO GO in the DRO incremental
display. Incremental travel is the distance
from the start of the line to the tool; it reads 0
at the start. This is equivalent to “zero and go”
operation. If you're milling a line, distance to
go is the distance from the tool to the end of
the line; it reads 0 when you’re at the end.
This is equivalent to presetting a target and
machining to zero.
DISPLAY RESOLUTION is the smallest increment of
motion shown in the DRO.
VERY HIGH = .0001" or .002 mm
HIGH = .0002" or .005 mm
NORMAL = .0005" or .01 mm
LOW = .001" or .02 mm
POINT ENTRY lets you select Cartesian for X-Y coordinates, or polar if you have a job
which has most of the dimensions in polar coordinates (radius and angles).
FROM POINT lets you determine how MILLPWR will show the coordinates of the start of
a line (or arc) when it connects to the previous line. The INCREMENTAL setting
will show the FROM points like this:
Line 004, FROM:
X1 0.0000 INC 003
Y1 0.0000 INC 003
The ABSOLUTE setting will show the FROM points like this:
Line 004, FROM:
X1 4.0050 ABS
Y1 -3.2000 ABS
