In that text file, what are the character listed along the left side? There are letters, and carats, two part syllables, mixed in with Q parameters?
How do the variables such as
Q202
translate into this:
CYCL DEF 1.3 PECKG
This text file you copied, is there no sample command line given in the book?
It would seem that the post setup I quoted in the posting above, ignores a couple of variables, Q213, which is the number of chip breaks before a retraction (chipbreak distance is automatically .2mm). Also I am not sure if Q205 is covered. It would appear to be the depth of the first drill increment before pecking begins after the second entry into the hole. Q212 may also not be present: because drilling is in the Z- direction, they call it a decrement, but it would be the total distance of each stage of drilling, which is individually broken by Q213.
How those translate into CYCLE DEF something-or-other, is beyond me.
