Important: This manual assumes that the standard MTB is being used and
standard PAL to run that MTB panel has been installed. For applications
that do not use the standard MTB panel or that do not use standard PAL to
run the MTB panel, refer to documentation prepared by your system
installer.
To go into the manual mode, select MANUAL under <MODE SELECT> . If
you are not equipped with a <MODE SELECT> button or switch, press the
{FRONT PANEL} softkey followed by the left/right arrow key to select the
mode.
When you select the manual mode, both the axis position data and the part
program currently active are displayed in the data display area if the
normal display is used for softkey level 1.
Press <CYCLE STOP> to abort manual operations. However, the system
installer has the option to designate some other switch to abort manual
operations in the PAL program. Refer to the documentation provided by
your system installer for details.
