Active parts program
When the part program DIAMON (dimensional information as diameter) is active, the following is true for the
transverse axis:
• The setpoint and actual values that refer to the workpiece coordinate system are displayed as diameter
values.
• System variables for setpoints and actual values that refer to the workpiece coordinate system contain
diameter values.
• Offsets are entered, programmed and displayed in radius format.
• Programmed end positions are converted to radius values internally.
• The absolute interpolation parameters (e.g. I, J, K) for circular interpolation (G2 and G3) are converted to
radius values internally.
• Measurement results that were determined by touch trigger probe in the workpiece coordinate system are
stored as diameter measurements.
• Setpoints and actual values can be read in diameter format in the WCS with the aid of system variables.
When the part program command DIAMOF (dimensional information as radius) is active, the above-mentioned
data is always entered, programmed, internally stored, read or displayed as radius data.
