When a DATUM step is executed, the datum number on the status bar
flashes indicating that the datum is about to be changed and this will
be the datum used for the following program operations.
When a POSITION step is executed, the display show the distance-to-
go for the machine and tool axes. Move the axes until the positions
read 0.0, then press NEXT STEP.
When a PRESET step is executed, the display shows the distance-to-
go. Move the axes until the positions read 0.0, then press NEXT STEP.
When a CIRCLE PATTERN, or LINEAR PATTERN step is executed, the
display shows the distance-to-go to get to each hole in the pattern.
Move the axes until the positions read 0.0, then press NEXT HOLE.
Once the correct operation is performed, press NEXT STEP to get the
next step in the program and execute it. Pressing the
PREVIOUS STEP will execute the previous step in the program.
If the current step being executed is a circle or linear pattern, the

pattern graphic view.
If the current step being executed is for incline milling, or arc milling,
the VIEW, PREVIOUS PASS, and NEXT PASS soft keys are shown.
