    Mitsubishi Meldas - Switching Tool Offset Page Type

    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to switch the tool offset page type in the controler to display:

    Height : Hwear : Radius : Rwear

    Right now it just displays a giant list of parameters, so I cannot use the same D number for my H numbers.

    The operators manual says to switch parameter 1037 cmdtype from 1 to 2 and then go into parameter 1060 (setup) and reset.

    The last step - 1060 setup scares me. What does this do? it does not sound like this will do good things.

    Any help will be apreciated.

    Thanks.

    After changing parameter #1037 to 2, the control memory must be formatted. Which is what the 1060 setup parameter does. It won't hurt your control, but it WILL erase all your programs and offsets. So make sure you back these up before you do this.

    thanks Scott!

    Will it erase all protected programs too, like the toolchager sub or the canned cycle programs??? Or does it not have these? Sorry new to Mitsu...
