TURRET/p,f,x,y[,CLW CCLW]
Generates a T-code for turret indexing. Assumes the subsequent .INC and CL coordinates refer to the tool tip.
p Is the turret face position number.
f Is the offset register number.
x,y Are the gauge lengths measured from the turret reference point along .INC and CL axes.
CLW Generates an M code for clockwise indexing.
CCLW Generates an M code for counter clockwise indexing.
TURRET/CENTER[,OFF]
Specifies that the subsequent .INC and CL coordinates refer to the turret reference point instead of the tool tip.
OFF Specifies that the .INC and CL coordinates refer to tool tip, which is the initial default condition.
TURRET/0
Generates a T00 code and assumes that the subsequent .INC and CL coordinates refer to the turret reference point.

Example:
First Quadrant Lathe:
Assuming that the tool is on turret face 1 and that offset register number 1 is to be used, the complete Turret command is:
TURRET/1,1,-2.5,-4.5
The value of the gauge length along the .INC and CL X axis is -2.5, since the distance from the reference point to the tool tip center is 2.5 in the negative direction. Similarly, the value of the gauge length along .INC and CL Y axis is -4.5 as shown in Figure.

Example:
Fourth Quadrant Lathe:
Assuming that the tool is on turret face 1 and that offset register number 1 is to be used, the complete Turret command is:
TURRET/1,1,-2.5,4.5
The value of the gauge length along the .INC and CL X axis is -2.5, since the distance from the reference point to the tool tip center is 2.5 in the negative direction. Similarly, the value of the gauge length along .INC and CL Y axis is 4.5 as shown in Figure.

TURRET/p,f,x,y[,CLW CCLW][,FRONT REAR]
Generates a T-code for turret indexing and assumes that the subsequent .INC and CL coordinates refer the tool tip.
p Is the turret face position number.
f Is the offset register number.
x,y Are the gage lengths measured from the turret reference point along .INC and CL XY axes.
CLW Generates an M code for clockwise indexing.
CCLW Generates an M code for counter clockwise indexing.
FRONT
REAR Specifies the turret type. This is a modal option and initially the primary turret is assumed.
TURRET/CENTER[,OFF]
Specifies that the subsequent .INC and CL coordinates refer to the turret reference point instead of the tool tip.
OFF Specifies that the .INC and CL coordinates refer to tool tip, which is the initial default condition.
TURRET/0
Generates a T00 code and assumes that the subsequent .INC and CL coordinates refer to the turret reference point.
TURRET/FRONT REAR
This command switches turret type without indexing the turret. Subsequent .INC and CL points should refer to the turret selected. This command is recommended for use with zero gauge lengths.
