(a)
NOT USED
(b)
NOT MODAL
(c)
MODAL
If this parameter is set at:: this means:
NOT USED
this AMP-assigned G-code macro call is disabled and is not used.
Any values assigned to the parameters G-CODE FOR MACRO
CALL and PROGRAM NUMBER FOR MACRO CALL are ignored.
NOT MODAL
the G-code paramacro called with this is executed as non-modal
(executed as a G65).
MODAL
the G-code paramacro call is executed as a modal G-code.
Modal type is determined by the parameter MODALITY OF AMP
G-CODES
Notes
Important: These G-code types must be set sequentially. If any of the 15
G-code types are set to “NOT USED,” the control assumes the rest of the
macro calls in the group of 15 are also “NOT USED.” For example, if
TYPE OF MACRO CALL 6 is set to “NOT USED,” the control assumes
TYPE OF MACRO CALL 7 - 15 are also “NOT USED” regardless of how
7 - 15 are set.
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes.
