15.2  Generate contour table (CONTPRON) 
Function 
Contour preparation is activated using the command CONTPRON. The NC blocks that are 
subsequently called are not executed, but are split-up into individual movements and stored 
in the contour table. Each contour element corresponds to one row in the two-dimensional 
array of the contour table. The number of relief cuts is returned. 
Syntax 
Activate contour preparation: 
CONTPRON(<contour table>,<machining type>,<relief cuts>, 
<machining direction>) 
Deactivate contour preparation and return to the normal execution mode: 
EXECUTE(<ERROR>)
