10: Denford Directives
[TOOLDEF
This directive sets the length and diameter of a cutting tool. The
length of a tool is the distance from the spindle nose to the bottom of
the cutter.
Example:
G21
[TOOLDEF T1 D8 Z65
This example defines tool number 1 as being 8mm in diameter, and
65mm long.
[STEP
This directive runs an on-screen program in single steps. This
means the program will run one program line, then wait for the
operator to prompt it to move to the next line; this continues until the
program is instructed to stop this function.
The directive applies to both simulation and actual machining with a
program.
[NO STEP
This directive runs an on-screen program without single steps. This
means the program will run as originally intended with no pausing,
unless a pause is requested from within the program itself.
The directive applies to both simulation and actual machining with a
program.
[SHOW
This directive allows the machining operations to be graphically
simulated on-screen.
[NOSHOW
This directive stops the machining operations from being graphically
simulated on-screen.
