numeric searches

A numeric search assumes a hit if the numeric portion of a word address is equal in value to the numeric portion of the search argument. X01.2220 equals X1.222 , for example.


tool usage

This display depends on the tool change trigger value that you set using the Settings menu item. If the value starts with a T, then the editor assumes any numeric value immediately following a T in the NC program is a tool number and displays all tool numbers found. If the letter address is not a T (e.g., an M6) then the editor simply counts the number of changes. Note that, if a T-word is used, tool pre-selects may be counted as changes.
