Machine parameters
Application
You can configure the behavior of the control with machine parameters. For this purpose, the control provides the MPs for Users and MPs for setters applications. You can open the MPs for Users application at any time without having to enter a code number.
The machine manufacturer defines which machine parameters are in which applications. HEIDENHAIN offers a standard scope of parameters for the MPs for setters application. The following contents describe only the standard scope of the MPs for setters application.
