fanuc control vmc peck drilling syntax

[rohit patil]

what if in the syntax of peck drilling cycle i.e.
G83 X_ Y_ Z_ K_ Q_ R_ F_

Can Q (depth of peck) be written in negative ....if written is it a syntax error?

[sinha_nsit]

Q must be positive. Negative values are ignored.
There would be no syntax error.

But why do you want to try unusual things?
