must be entered in METRIC.
Navigate to the parameter you wish to set using the keys by the message window.

Function:
This function is used on
2-axes Mill
DRO’s by the Inclined machining and Arc
contouring functions to simulate a Z-axis input by calibrating the DRO to the
resolution and turns of the Knee axis dial.
Operation:
Press the key
The message display will show “ENTR PPM”
Enter the distance moved by the Z-axis for one Z-axis dial increment
Display shows: “DIAL INC”
Default: 0.200
Measure the movement of the table
for one Z-axis dial increment.
You can either take this straight off the dial or for a more accurate result use a dial gauge from the spindle to
measure the true physical movement.
If your 2-axes Mill only has a Quill
and not a Knee then set this as the
smallest resolution you can
accurately move the Quill.
