Messing With Parameters Can Be Fatal!!!!!

To change parameters you need to go to the setting screen in MDI. Now put a 1 in the parameter write box.

Some more interesting parameters

3203 Clear MDI Screen

3401 Calculator Type Decimal Point or Integer

3402 G Codes that are Active When The machine is Turned On

6005 Allows the Use of Local Subroutines (Newer Control)

6050-6059  Allows you to Call a 9000 series Program with a G Code

6080-6089 Allows you to Call a 9000 series Program with An M Code

5003 Retain Geometry when you Press Reset

 

Oh just one other thing before you go off and cripple your machine forever.

Do yourself a favor take a picture of the screen before you change a parameter. If you aint got a camera then you must have a piece of paper.

Even better back everything up.

Thanks

G Code Groups, every G code is in a group and I remember looking at G codes for years thinking why on earth do they do that?

I thought it was just to satisfy the geeks, it gave them more bullshit to talk about and confuse the shit out of me.

Anyway now I’m all grown up, I know exactly why G Codes are in groups.

The good news is today I am going to tell you why and….. I am going to give you a practical example.

(Be sure to read on for a free cheese on toast recipe)

Here is a list of G codes and the groups that they are in

Hass G Code Groups do vary a little.

Now I know this is boring but please try to keep focused it gets exciting soon honestly.

If you are loosing the will to live already then off you go, this video is amazing.
