staggered thread G76 on Fanuc 0i

[kkronja]

Hello there,
been trying to get my lathe with Fanuc 0i to perform a staggered thread cutting with a const depth of cut using G76 (precisely: internal thread M30)-according to the operators manual I should use the FS15 tape format, like this:
G76 X-30.1 Z-66.0 K1750 D100 F3.5 A60 P2

The problem is that the machine has issue with the P2 at the end of line(it says that the command is illegal). If I don't put the P2 the machine does what it is supposed to (unstaggered cut). I must be doing something wrong...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you change the setting for TAPE FORMAT = 1 to select F15 format?

Hmmm...I did now, and it works!
