Messing With Parameters Can Be Fatal!!!!!

Clear MDI Screen Fanuc Parameter 3203

Ever thought how annoying it is when you want to do a tool change and you type

T01 M6;
M30;

Then later you want to do the same thing but the MDI screen has cleared. Help is at hand.

This was me in fancy dress when i was younger.

Anyway all you need to do is tinker with bit 7 (#7)

That means it will either clear when you press reset or just stay there waiting for you.

Please note you will need an M30 at the end of your MDI program for this to work.

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.
