How to activate the optional stop

[dingo0722]

I want to use an optional stop in my program after one operation has completed. How do I get my haas vf2 to allow for this? I could not find the option to turn it on


thanks

M01 in the program, turn on button. Usually next to single block.

If you use M01's after every tool (like most do...), the Optional Stop turned on will stop at every M01. If you only want it to stop at a specific spot, but not every tool, use M00.

My post puts the M01 in after every tool change, just overlooked the soft key. Its always the simplest things that hang you up
