When I program the D4 control, I have a tendancy to use the G0 command as Modal, and therefor when I omit this command, it switches back to G1 feed movements.This is frustrating. Is it possible to toggle the machine into reading G0's as Modal or will I have to program G0 on every single line required ?
If not, I'm going to have to start a horrible modifying task on my post processor.

Man you need an operators manual for an FP-NC with Dialog4 control. It will answer all your programming questions and gives good examples of the various cycles and how to use them...

Ok so now the answer. On the D4 rapid moves are not modial. You must call G00 when ever you want to make another rapid move.
There is no way to change the control to make the rapids modial.....sorry


Modial commands are:
G01
G17
G18
G19*1
G19*2
F...
S...
T...
G90
G91
G60
G61
G64
G41 Until cancelled by G40
G42 Until cancelled by G40
M60
M61
M62

Think that is it.....
Cheers Ross
