Mode

This parameter determines the mode of measure on the machine.

3 modes are possible:

MAN

As long as the coordinate system of measure is not created, the mode MAN (manual mode) is used.

It's the user who has to realize measure manually on the machine.

The DMIS  output is : MODE / MAN

PROG

Having created the coordinate system of measure, it's possible to create measures in PROG mode (PROGRAMMABLE mode).

The machine executes automatically all the movements and the measures.

The DMIS  output is : MODE / PROG, MAN

AUTO

Having created the coordinate system of measure, it's possible to create measures in mode AUTO (AUTOMATIC mode).

The machine does not execute instructions GOTO and PTMEAS.

It takes into account only MEAS and uses its own cycles for measures and lead in.

The DMIS  output is : MODE/AUTO,MAN
