8.16 Auxiliary (AUX) Functions Event
Auxiliary operations are programmed as events in the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC to make it
easier to turn functions on and off for the entire program.
When running programs with Auxiliary functions, the Coolant and Air hard keys on the
Run panel must be in the correct position. If you want the program to automatically turn
the Auxiliary functions on and off, press the hard key until the light is on in the AUTO
position.
