G-code format prompting aids the operator in programming different G
codes by prompting the programmer for the necessary parameters. A
graphical representation is usually provided to show the programmer a
sample of what the G-code parameters are used for.
Grinder surface or cylindrical G codes are listed under the
{GRINDER PROMPT} softkey.
To use the G-code prompting menus:
1. From the QuickView menu, press the {G CODE PROMPT} softkey.
