Hi guys,

Sorry to bother. I have another question about the Fryer ET-30BB Lathe with a Siemens control (with Shopturn 7.50.18.00). Parameters are the same as a 840D control.

We are trying to make the machine read the G-codes in Radius rather than in diameter. We tried changing parameters
9611 $MM_CTM_CROSS_AX_DIAMETER_ON
9619 $MM_CTM_G91_DIAMETER_ON
to make the program read programs in radius. For G91 (incremental), it does read in radius. The problem is that we cannot make the program read X value in radius for G90 (absolute), all we can do is make it display in radius and it will keep reading the program in diameter.
Anyone would know what to change to make the program X value in radius in G90?

Thanks!

All was needed was to write DIAMOF in the G-code program. I found this in programming manual.

Thanks.
