Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual 231

Field	Code	Description
EstAngle	S	Estimated amount of angle from 3 O'clock.
		Default is 0 which causes the cycle to find
		the angle of the back edge of the part
		starting its first pick in the upper-left corner
		and making the second pick to the left of
		that, as you are facing the surface being
		picked. Examples:
		S=90 would start in the lower-left side,
		picking in the X positive direction, finding
		the skew of the left side of the part.
		S=-90 would start in the upper-right side,
		picking in the X negative direction, finding
		the skew of the right side of the part.
		S=180 would start in the lower-right front
		edge of the part, picking in the Y positive
		direction, finding the skew of the front edge
		of the part.
		Default is: 0. (Optional)
DistPicks	D	The distance from the first pick to the
		second pick. Default is: 2.0"
		(50.8 mm) (Optional)
Top	H	If set to 1, the cycle finds the top of the part
		before finding part skew angle. Default is: 0.
		If H" is set to 1, the probe stylus should be
		pre-positioned within 0.1" (2.54 mm) above
		the part. If H is set to 0, the probe stylus
		should be positioned at the Z-axis depth
		from which you want to make side picks.
		(Optional)
DistDown	E	The distance to go down from the top of
		part to find part skew angle. This is only
		used if H parameter is set to 1. Without any
		E value, the cycle brings the probe stylus
		center down past the top of the part after
		finding the top, 0.1" (2.54 mm).
		(Optional)
DistBack	V	Specifies the distance away from the edge
		for the probe to fast feed to before trying to
		find it. Default is: 0.1" (2.54 mm) if not set.
		This would be used to make sure that the
		cycle is picking from far enough away from
		the edge so that it does not trigger the
		probe prematurely when stepping over to
		make the second pick.
		Hint: If the S cycle parameter is relatively
		accurate, this parameter is not needed
		because the default is good enough.
		(Optional)
