Some cycles always use identical cycle parameters, such as the set-up clearance Q200, which you must enter for each cycle definition. With the GLOBAL DEF function you can define these cycle parameters at the beginning of the program, so that they are effective globally for all cycles used in the NC program. In the respective cycle you then use PREDEF to simply reference the value defined at the beginning of the program.
The following GLOBAL DEF functions are available
