Prep/G-Codes


General

Linear Interpolation

This has moved to the Linear Motion panel in the Motion section.

Axes Preset

Enter the value that sets the position register preset function (usually 92). If the preset function is not available on this machine, enter NA (not available). Also see the postprocessor command SET/START.

Inch/Metric

Inch Mode

Enter the value that sets inch measurement mode, usually 70. If no preparatory code is required for inch mode operation, enter NR (not required). If inch mode operation is not available on this machine, enter NA (not available).

Metric Mode

Enter the value that sets metric measurement mode, usually 71. If no preparatory code is required for metric mode operation, enter NR (not required). If metric mode operation is not available on this machine, enter NA (not available).

Absolute/Incremental

Absolute Mode

Enter the value that enables absolute positioning mode (usually 90). If no preparatory code is required for absolute mode, enter NR (not required). If this machine positions in the incremental mode only, enter NA (not available).

Incremental Mode

Enter the value that enables incremental positioning mode (usually 91). If no preparatory code is required for incremental mode, enter NR (not required). If this machine positions in the absolute mode only, enter NA (not available).

High Speed Tapping

Cycle/Tap - High

Enter the numeric value of the preparatory code required by your controller for high speed tapping cycles.

Not Req'd (NR)

Check this option is the prep code is not required.

Not Avail (NA)

Check this option is the prep code is not available on the controller.

Controller will accept multiple prep/G-codes

Check this box if your controller will accept more than one preparatory code in a single machine control data block. Do not check this box if it does not. Equivalent postprocessor commands:

Prep and Aux Codes can be greater the 2 digits

This check box along with the one on the Aux Codes panel indicates that prep or aux code can be greater then 99 if the check box is checked. This is equivalent to PLABEL 64.

Cycle/G-Codes

In general, rapid positioning will occur to each CL poitn plus clearance (c). This is output as the rapid stop point. The feed distance will be the usm of the values "c" and "z", which is output as the feed stop point. See section 4.15 in the hardcopy of the GPost manual.

Cycle/Off

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to turn all cycles off. Enter NA (not available) if no preparatory code is required.

Cycle/Drill

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware drill cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/CSink

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware CSINK cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Deep

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware DEEP cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Tap

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware TAP cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Bore

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware BORE cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Ream

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware REAM cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Thru

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware THRU cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Face

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware FACE cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Mill

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware MILL cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.

Cycle/Brkchp

Enter the preparatory code required by your controller to begin the hardware BRKCHP cycle. The postprocessor can simulate this cycle by using linear and rapid motion. If your machine controller does not have this hardware cycle, then enter NA (not available) and the postprocessor will simulate the cycle.
