The cycle machining data entry window is divided into two sections,
one section for cutting conditions and the other for detailed data.
Pressing the ← or → cursor key switches between the two sections
and changes the displayed tab. The character in the selected tab is

NUMERALS." is displayed in the lower section of the window. For
the second type, the message "SELECT SOFT KEY" is displayed.
Necessary data can be entered by referencing a comment for the data
input item and a guide chart displayed in the window.
The following soft keys are displayed for the machining cycle data
window.
When the necessary data has been entered, pressing [INSERT] inserts
