2.8.5 Settings for manual mode
For manual mode, you can select the central machine functions and
work offsets and set the unit of measurement.
Machine functions (M-functions) are functions such as "Close door" or
"Release collet," for example, that were made available as extras by
the machine manufacturer.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
In manual mode, you can display the axis positions and distance-
defining parameters either in "mm" or "inches". However, tool offsets
and zero-point offsets remain in the original unit of measure, in which
the machine was set (see Sec. "Switching the Unit of Measure
(Millimeters/Inches)").
