Mazak T2 parameter input format?

[nervis1]

This is on a QT-8 with a T2 control.

I need to change parameter OP-5 to tell the control I have the tool setter back on. I have the parameter list and what 0s to change to 1s. I found out the control wants these left to right...got that far. I try and type in 00001000 but the control won't accept it.

The bits are displayed as 0000 0000 with a space between the groups of 4. I don't have a space key on the control and that may be where the problem is. I tried putting a 0 there and . and -. Did not work either.

Anyone know how to type this in?

With the parameters, you need to add a parity bit (9 bits) so if you are entering 00001000 you add a 1 on the end for the one bit set.
e.g. 000010001 if it was 00001101 the entry would be 000011013

Wow thanks Al. I would have never figured that one out. A guy on the PM board said the same thing.

Appreciate the help.
