6.1 Manual machine
"Manual Machine" offers a modified comprehensive spectrum of
functions for manual mode. You can carry out all important machining
processes in “Manual” mode without writing a program.
For working in "Manual Machine" mode, you will need the "Manual
Machine" software option.
The appearance of the displayed softkeys can vary, according to
which coordinate system is set. Machining before the center of
rotation is typical.
Please see the machine manufacturer’s specifications for this.
