12.3 Service Codes
These are special codes that may be entered into the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC to call up
routines used in installation, setting of preferences, machine checkout and service.
WARNING!
Before using service codes, be aware that some of the routines are very powerful and may
change important system settings. Some of the routines cause the servos to come on and
move at rapid speed.
The Service Codes are divided into logical categories. The table below summarizes the
more important ones. See the service manual for more information on using Service
Codes.
