The initial settings for traverse rate and feed mode are stored in
setting data for JOG mode.
Traverse rates are defined by the machine manufacturer. The default
setting for the feedrate is mm/min.
See operating area "Parameters/Setting data/JOG data".
Sequence of operations
"JOG" mode is selected in the "Machine" operating area.

Traversing axes

Using the "Inc" (increment, see Subsection 2.2.2) function, manually
traverse the selected axis in preset increments in the appropriate
direction by pressing an "Axis key" repeatedly:
• [.] Variable increment can be set via the "Inc" softkey.
• [1], [10], ..., [10000] fixed increment
Turning machine:
Press the "Axis" keys.
If necessary, set the rate with the override selector.
If you press "Rapid traverse override" at the same time, you can
traverse the axis in rapid traverse mode.
Milling machine:
Select the axis to be traversed and
then press the "-" or "+" key.
Feedrate and rapid traverse override switches can be operative.
