It makes it very user friendly. I have several other mills in the shop that don't have this feature, and we always forget about it. I would like to set this setting from within my CNC program so the next time that it is set up, the operator doesn't come to me to ask why the cycle time is so long or short compared to the last time.
I asked at our HFO, and after some search, they determined that it could not be set in the program. I have a hard time believing that it can't but I could not find the variable or the actual parameter, other than that setting 34.
Thank you in advance for any help.
