The linear correction has the following characteristics:
1. it is permanently stored (it becomes a mechanical component of the axis);
2. it can always be modified, entering other
CF
values. The permitted values are:
MIN
= 0.000001
TYP
= 1.000000
MAX
= 9.999999
3. it can be disabled entering
CF = 1
or deleting the linear correction with the function
F 00
;
4. it has priority over preset, reset, etc. functions.
The correction must be entered before the other functions (which otherwise
would be modified).
The function can be used to select the required reading mode.

After having confirmed with the EXE key, the display will be enabled for counting.
While choosing the reading mode, consider that:
A) RADIAL READING:
the display shows the same value of the carriage
movement. This is the most common reading mode.
B) DIAMETRAL READING:
the display shows a value that is the
double
of the carriage
movement. This reading mode is typically used for the
transversal axes of lathes. In fact, if the tool advances by
1 mm, the workpiece diameter decreases by 2 mm.
1.
The unit of measurement can be switched from MM to INCHES and vice versa in
both reading modes.
2.
A permanently lighted point on the first digit signals that the axis is set in diametral
reading.
3.
Any previous RELAY OUTPUT setting is disabled since it is altered by the reading
mode selected. On the contrary, the reference positions are retained.
