CUTCOM - PQ Vectors

PQ vectors output on each CUTCOM block

You should check this box if you require PQ vectors to be output on each CUTCOM block. If PQ vectors are not required to be output on each CUTCOM block, do not check this box

P & Q output on first block

If you always require the P and Q components of the vector to be output on the first compensation block, check this box. If you do not, do not check this box.

Vector Type

Choose the radio button selection that best represents your machine control requirements.

• Unit surface - The vector components point to an imaginary surface, one unit away in the direction of compensation.

• Unit vector - The vector components represent a unit vector which points in the direction of compensation.

• Eight directional preparatory codes - Each preparatory code represents a direction. Checking this box will cause the Directional Prep Codes tab to display, and it is on this panel that you specify the directional prep codes.

Vector Modality

P/Q modal switch. Choose the radio button selection that best represents your machine control requirements.

Modal -- output vector if delta >= 0

Output vector even if delta is zero.

Non-Modal -- output vector if delta >= 0

Output vector even if delta is zero.

Modal -- output vector only if delta > 0

Output vector even if delta is zero.

Non-Modal -- output vector only if delta > 0

Output vector even if delta is zero.

Vector Formatting

P - Vector Reg. Format

Clicking this button will activate the Register Format Dialog box that will provide the user an opportunity to set the CUTCOM P register format for the mode under which it was activated.

Q - Vector Reg. Format

Clicking this button will activate the Register Format Dialog box that will provide the user an opportunity to set the CUTCOM Q register format for the mode under which it was activated.

Min. Vector

This is the minimum value that can be output for each P/Q vector component.

Max. Vector

This is the maximum value that can be output for each P/Q vector component.
