HLP 90
QUE 91      Adjust feedrate for true radial velocity? (Y/N)   -->
HLP 91During circular interpolation, the velocity of the cutting edge of
HLP 91the tool is not the same as the velocity of the center of the tool
HLP 91radius. For example, a .20 tool radius driven around a .005 corner
HLP 91at 10 IPM would actually  result in a tangential  velocity of much
HLP 91less  than 10 IPM.  This option  directs the option file generator
HLP 91to adjust programmed feedrates to correct this condition.
QUE 92      Are prep codes modal in circular interpolation?   -->
HLP 92Some controllers require that circular preparatory codes be output
HLP 92on each block.  Others  retain  the  current  prep  code as modal.
HLP 92Modal codes are output only when their value changes, not on every
HLP 92block.
HLP 92
HLP 92
QUE 93      Are XYZ codes modal in circular interpolation?    -->
HLP 93Some controllers  require  axis  motion registers to  be output on

QUE 95      Maximum degrees allowed per block                 -->
HLP 95When processing circular data, the Postprocessor breaks the motion
HLP 95into individual blocks at each quadrant crossing. Use this setting
HLP 95to specify the  maximum  number  of  degrees  allowable  for  each
HLP 95circular block, regardless of quadrant crossings. Enter any number
HLP 95between 1 and 360 to  specify  degrees.  Enter  0  to  select  the
HLP 95default 90 degree quadrant output.
QUE 96      Is RADIUS programming vs. IJK required? (Y/N)     -->
HLP 96Circular  interpolation blocks may  represent the radius or radius
HLP 96center  in  one of  two ways. The machine may use two registers to
HLP 96locate  the radius center relative to the tool tip.  In that case,
HLP 96answer No  to  select  ARC  OFFSET.  If  the machine uses a single
HLP 96register  containing  the  actual  radius for the circular motion,
HLP 96answer Yes to select RADIUS programming.
QUE 97      Contents of IJK in ABSOLUTE mode (1/2/3/4)        -->
HLP 97In   ABSOLUTE  mode, the contents of the IJK registers in circular
HLP 97interpolation can be output in one of four ways:
HLP 97                  1 = Delta arc offset distances (unsigned)
HLP 97                  2 = Distance from center to start point (signed)
HLP 97                  3 = Distance from start point to center (signed)
HLP 97                  4 = Absolute coordinates of radius center
QUE 98      Contents of IJK in INCREMENTAL mode (1/2/3)       -->
HLP 98In INCREMENTAL mode, the contents of the IJK registers in circular
HLP 98interpolation can be output in one of three ways:
HLP 98
HLP 98                  1 = Delta arc offset distances (unsigned)
HLP 98                  2 = Distance from center to start point (signed)
HLP 98                  3 = Distance from start point to center (signed)
QUE 99      Should the IJK codes be output when zero? (Y/N)   -->
HLP 99Some controllers assume the IJK registers are zero  if they do not
HLP 99appear in a circular block. Other controllers require that the IJK
HLP 99values be in the circular block even when the value is zero.
HLP 99

HLP109made under inverse time feedrate mode.
HLP109
HLP109Note that this is the actual velocity of the machine tool, not the
HLP109rapid traverse feedrate code (which may not be the same).
QUE110      Rapid feed code register address                  -->
HLP110On some  controllers,  the address of the register  containing the
HLP110feedrate  code is  not the  same as that  of the  normal  feedrate
HLP110register  (eg F20.0 for feed mode  vs. E8  for rapid mode).   This
HLP110parameter  is used to  indicate the  address of the rapid feedrate
HLP110register.   Note that G00 could invoke rapid without need for this
HLP110parameter being set to "G".
QUE111      Special rapid feed code value                     -->
HLP111In  some  cases,  a special feed code  (such as F8, F9, or F0)  is
HLP111required  to  indicate rapid traverse.  If this machine requires a
HLP111code like this, enter the numeric value of the code here. You will
HLP111be prompted later for the format(s) of this  special feed code for
HLP111rapid positioning.

HLP112Enter  the  format  of  the  special  feed  code  number for rapid
HLP112traverse positioning. Many machines have a feed register formatted
HLP112as  F3.2  (resulting  in an Fnnn.nn format)  for feedrate mode but
HLP112require a special F8 code to invoke rapid traverse.  In this case,
HLP112enter 10  to  indicate  1 digit  left  and no digits right of  the
HLP112implied decimal point.  For F99, the format would be 20.
QUE113      Metric format for special rapid codes             -->
HLP113Enter  the  format  of  the  special  feed  code  number for rapid
HLP113traverse positioning. Many machines have a feed register formatted

HLP113require a special F8 code to invoke rapid traverse.  In this case,
HLP113enter 10  to  indicate  1 digit  left  and no digits right of  the
HLP113implied decimal point.  For F99, the format would be 20.
QUE114      Minimum distance required for rapid               -->
HLP114Many machine  manufacturers  and  maintenance  departments  advise
HLP114against programming very short rapid traverse moves. The value you
HLP114enter  here  will be the lower dimensional limit allowed for rapid
HLP114motion.  Any  motion  programmed at rapid below this limit will be
HLP114reduced to the feedrate you provide in the next prompt.
HLP114
QUE115      Feedrate UPM for rapid below minimum distance     -->
HLP115Enter  the  feedrate  velocity  to  which you want all short rapid
HLP115traverse programmed moves reduced. Enter the velocity in units per
HLP115minute; the  Postprocessor converts this to  units per  revolution
HLP115if that is the current  feed mode  for the  programmed motion.
HLP115Also see the Postprocessor command FEDRAT/__,RAPTO
HLP115
QUE116      Rapid feedrate prep code                          -->
HLP116Some machines  cannot make  rapid traverse moves  while in the UPR
HLP116feedrate mode.   The entry you make here  causes the Postprocessor
HLP116to shift into  the mode you specify before making any rapid moves.
HLP116After the rapid move is completed,  the Postprocessor  shifts back
HLP116into the feedrate mode in effect prior to the  traverse  move.  If
HLP116this machine does not require a prep code for this move, enter NR.
QUE117      Positioning prep code modal? (Y/N)                -->
HLP117For some controllers,  the positioning prep codes must be repeated
HLP117with the axis values, even when the last move was made under rapid
HLP117traverse.  Note that this option does not make the  RAPID  command
HLP117modal in a part program.
HLP117
HLP117
QUE118      Use motion analysis when moving the Z axis? (Y/N) -->
HLP118Motion analysis enables  you to control  the Z  axis motion to and
HLP118from the work piece in three dimensional moves. Enter Yes to cause
HLP118Z  axis motion  before X and Y axis motion on retract.  For motion
HLP118toward the part surface, the X and Y axis motion occurs before the
HLP118Z axis motion. Enter No to select no motion analysis.  This causes
HLP118simultaneous motion for retract and/or approach in all three axes.
QUE119      DWELL preparatory code                            -->
HLP119If this machine requires a prep code (such as 04) on dwell blocks,
