Diameter Offsets - Mori Seiki Fanuc 10M control.

How do I enter my diameter offsets? When I push the Offset soft key all that is on the display are the length offsets.

Try:
pressing page down several times

Try:
pressing offset key several times

Try:
pressing the arrow keys just below the screen [<]_____[>]

if youve only got one offset /line then what you need to do is determine what numbers to use for your h and d values , what we do for example is for tool 1 h1 we use offset 1 ,generally we keep d values always +20 from the h which keeps thing simple , d21 offset 21

now if you talking about what i think you are then you need to keep in mind that if your offset 1 is for tool 1 h1 value and your program has d1 then your dcomp will be an equal move to what the value yove set for the h value , so to say if youve set your offset 1 for z-20 and your d1 is called up , your tool d will shift 20"

Oh, I remember a 1980's vintage that DID have "generic" offset pages, where you input values and they didn't take on meaning until they were called in the program. Depending on HOW you called them, they became either diameter OR length.
As dertsap implied, offset 1 can be called as:
G00 G43 Z0.1 H1
or could be used as:
G00 G42 X1.5 Y0.0 D1
but be careful you don't use the same offset for BOTH length AND diameter.
