When using the three–path lathe conversational function, set tool post 1
for tool post selection on the screen.
NOTE
1 When tool post 1 is selected on the conversational screen,
changing the tool post selection changes the display to the
main menu.
2 Also when this series is used for a two–path lathe without
adding the optional three–path function, the conversational
function cannot be used with a tool post other than tool post
1 set for tool post selection on the screen.
