DistDown

E

The incremental distance from the 
current Z Retract amount to go down 
along the side of the probe stylus when 
doing a diameter pick. The maximum E 
value is 0.55" (13.97 mm) or the tool may 
crash into the probe or table. If you enter 
a value larger than 0.55" (13.97 mm), the 
control issues an error message. If E is 
not set, the cycle uses a default value of 
0.1" (2.54 mm). (Optional) [Default: 0.1"]
Ball nose cutters and special cutters that 
require a move down more than 0.55" 
(13.97 mm) are not supported.
NOTE: Z Retract Amount is set in the 
Tool Probe Parameters.

OvrFstFeed

F

This is the override for the fast Z feedrate 
that was set in the machine setup 
parameter ZFirstPickFeedRate_Fast. 
Sometimes there may be a tool that has 
a large diameter making it necessary to 
slow it down to prevent the touch probe 
from being hit too hard. This can only be 
set slower. Trying to set this higher will 
result in the software using the original 
feedrate. (Optional)

OvrMedFeed

M

This is the override for the medium 
feedrate that was set in the machine 
setup parameter 
ZFirstPickFeedRate_Medium. This is 
used for the same reason as the F cycle 
parameter. This can only be set slower. 
Trying to set this higher will result in the 
software using the original feedrate.
