    5004.2 should be the only parameter you need to change.

    With the Series 16/18/20/21 series of CNC controls, you'll need to modify the CMR (Command Multiply Ratio) to work in Diameter programming. Also, there are 2 other parameters to consider, depending on your preferences.

    1820: => Present value x 0.5

    5004.1 = 0 (diameter offsets)

    1006.3 = 1 (diameter rate in CSS)
