OTHERS
“REVOLUTION”
Default : ON
When set to “OFF,” cutting can be performed without rotating the spindle.
“OVER AREA”
Default : CONTINUE
This selects the action when the cutter returns from a coordinate outside the cutting range
to a coordinate inside the range. (The cutter cannot actually be moved outside the cutting
range, but the PNC-2300's internal processing handles this as if it had.)
“CONTINUE” : Operation is not paused upon return to the cutting range. Cutting
continues without interruption.
“PAUSE” : Operation is paused when the cutter returns to the cutting range.

“SMOOTHING”
Default : ON
Smoothing is a function for cutting smooth arcs and circles.
This is set to "ON" when shipped from the factory. If smooth engraving is not desired, set
this to “OFF.”
“Z0/Z1/Z2 MEMORY”
Default : ON
This toggles the Z0, Z1 and Z2 points memory function on or off. When set to “ON,” the
Z0, Z1 and Z2 points remain in memory even after the power is switched off.
“RESOLUTION”
Default : 0.01 mm/step
This selects the unit used for coordinates. Either 0.01 mm/step or 0.025 mm/step
can be selected. Changing the coordinate unit causes only the coordinate units for
the X and Y axes to change. The coordinate unit along the Z axis is always 0.01
mm/step.
“COMMAND MODE”
Default : AUTO
This selects the instruction system for data sent from the computer. When set to “AUTO,”
the instruction system is determined automatically. If automatic determination is not
made correctly, find out what instruction system the application software (or driver
software) uses for data that is sent, and change this setting to “1” or “2.” Refer to the
manual for the software to determine the instruction system of sent data.
“REVOLUTION TIME”
This shows the rotation time of the spindle. The spindle rotation time cannot be
returned to “0” (zero).
For details, see “Display of Spindle Rotation Time” on page 29.
