SETTING AND DISPLAYING DATA
To operate a CNC machine tool, various data must be set through the
CRT/MDI panel or DPL/MDI panel. The operator can monitor the state
of operation with data displayed during operation.
This chapter describes how to display and set data for each function.
The DPL/MDI panel displays only letters and numbers. It cannot display
kanji characters.
Even when the Chinese option is selected on the CRT/MDI panel, letters
are displayed on some maintenance screens.
The screen transition for when each function key on the MDI panel is
pressed is shown below. The subsections referenced for each screen are
also shown. See the appropriate subsection for details of each screen and
the setting procedure on the screen. See other chapters for screens not
described in this chapter.

the manual issued by the machine manufacture for where the data
protection key is located and how to use it.
