Hi all
I'm getting to grips with drip feeding programs to my Delta 20 control, and I realized I have no idea how to see where I am in the program (or what's coming next)
To give an example: I have a short program where I spot drill 4 holes, then through drill them with a 1/2" drill.
When I hit cycle start, the mill immediately starts the spot drill cycle (doesn't stop for the initial tool change, which is a little disconcerting), then at the end of the spot drilling, it just sits there on line 127 waiting for me to hit cycle start again.
Line 128 calls the next tool (I have no toolchanger on the machine) and has the spindle speed (which I have to set manually on this machine), but I don't see any way to actually "look ahead" and see the next line of the program.
If I've forgotten what the next tool is, or what the spindle speed is supposed to be, I have to go back to the computer to see what's coming next. Hopefully I'm just missing the obvious, and there's a way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
Lee
