2.1 Working with Fixed Cycles
Defining a cycle using soft keys
U The soft-key row shows the available groups of cycles
U Press the soft key for the desired group of cycles, for
example DRILLING for the drilling cycles
U Select the desired cycle, for example THREAD
MILLING. The TNC initiates the programming dialog
and asks all required input values. At the same time a
graphic of the input parameters is displayed in the
right screen window. The parameter that is asked for
in the dialog prompt is highlighted
U Enter all parameters requested by the TNC and
conclude each entry with the ENT key
U The TNC ends the dialog when all required data has

Defining a cycle using the GOTO function
U The soft-key row shows the available groups of cycles
U The TNC shows an overview of cycles in a pop-up

U Choose the desired cycle with the arrow keys, or
U Choose the desired cycle with CTRL and the arrow
keys (for pagewise scrolling), or
U Enter the cycle number and confirm it with the ENT
key. The TNC then initiates the cycle dialog as
described above
