Function
The Q parameters listed below enable you to program basic
mathematical functions in a part program:
8 Select a Q parameter function: Press the Q key (in the numerical
keypad at right). The Q parameter functions are displayed in a soft-
key row.
8 To select the mathematical functions, press the BASIC
