3.3.1 Keywords

The alphabetic characters listed below are used as keywords.

A numeric value after each keyword has the following meaning:

Keyword	Meaning of a numeric value that follows
N	Parameter number
Q	Data identifier (1: Parameter data, 0: Pitch error compensation data)
	Machine group number (1 and up) of a machine group type
	parameter
	Path number (1 and up) of a path type parameter
A	Controlled axis number (1 and up) of an axis type parameter
S	Spindle number (1 and up) of a spindle type parameter
P	Value of a parameter independent of inch/metric switching
M	Metric input value of a parameter dependent on inch/metric
	switching
I	Inch input value of a parameter dependent on inch/metric switching

3.3.2 Inch/Metric Switching

For parameters dependent on inch/metric switching such as those for length and feedrate, whether data is inch data or metric data is specified by the input mode in the case of input from the MDI panel, or by the keyword I or M prefixed to the data in the case of input from an external I/O device. The keyword I or M is added also when data is output from an external I/O device.

If the input mode or keyword differs from the actually used mode as in a case where data input in the inch mode is used in the metric mode, the CNC performs automatic data conversion. So, data need not be converted according to a mode change. Moreover, when parameter data is displayed, the data is converted according to the display mode. However, when data is output from an external I/O device, the original data is output according to the original keyword.
