Selecting a program with contour definitions
With the SEL CONTOUR function you select a program with contour
definitions, from which the TNC takes the contour descriptions:

U Select the menu for functions for contour and point
machining.
U Press the DECLARE CONTOUR soft key.
U Enter the number for the contour designator QC, and
confirm with the ENT key.
U Enter the full name of the program with the contour

is no longer necessary if you use SEL
CONTOUR .
With the given contour designators QC you can include the
various contours in the contour formula.
If you program separate depths for contours, then you
must assign a depth to all subcontours (assign the depth 0
if necessary).
