2. Set Select Graph. Use the up and down cursor keys to select the
axes. Then set them by pressing the left or right cursor keys. The
data for the selected axes change each time you press the left or right
cursor key.
A pictorial representation of the selected graph, which is determined
by the selected axes, is displayed on the screen.
You have three fields that you can adjust. The axes are shown as
horizontal and vertical axes. If you choose a third axis for display, it
appears as a horizontal axis above the first one. Only linear axes can
be selected for display on the graphics screen.
For example:
If the X, Y, and Z axes are selected, this representation appears:
X
Z
Y
Choose a set of axes that best displays the current program’s cutting
path.

Choosing: Causes monochrome: Causes color:
On rapid moves to be drawn with a
dashed line and other moves to

unless the rapid moves overwrite
green feed lines. If this is the
case, the control uses yellow for
the rapid moves that overlap the
green feed lines.
Off graphics do not draw any move
that is made in rapid traverse. All
other moves are drawn with a
solid line.
