About Common Parameters

The parameters that are common to all NC sequences can be found in See Also. Those that are NC sequence-specific are listed in the appropriate NC sequence sections. They are listed under a heading that corresponds to the menu options you use to set up the parameters.

• You must supply a value for all parameters that have a default of -1.

• Some parameters may have a value of dash (-) which means that the parameter is not used. Usually a system default or another parameter is used instead. The dash (-) value is only acceptable for those parameters that have it as a default.

• Length units for NC sequence parameters (where applicable) are the same as the units of the workpiece. If the workpiece units are changed using the Same Size option (so that the dimension values are changed), all the appropriate parameters of currently existing NC sequences are also scaled.
