Inputting and Outputting Pitch Error Compensation Data 

 

8.2.4.1 

Inputting pitch error compensation data 

 
Pitch error compensation data are loaded into the memory of the CNC 
from an external device.    The input format is the same as the output 
format.    When a pitch error compensation data is loaded which has 
the corresponding data number as a pitch error compensation data 
already registered in the memory, the loaded data replaces the existing 
data.
