reaches the maximum depth called out in the depth box. The last pass
may have a depth value less than the maximum depth per pass.
If, for example, the total depth required is 0.013 and if the depth per
pass is declared to be 0.005, the software will execute three passes
(multiple passes) of depths 0.005, 0.005, and 0.003 to get to the desired
depth. These values can be declared separately for each of the
materials. The DepthPerPass=0 is a special case, where entire depth
will be cut in a single pass.
The final or the machining screen is also organized to show the total
number of passes required to complete the job as well as the number of
the current pass at work. Additionally, the operator can decide to pause
at the end of each pass.
Batch/Matrix operations ignore the DepthPerPass command. It will
always cut the full depth in a single pass.
