You can program a G70 to select the inch system or a G71 to select the
metric system. These unit system G codes should be among the first
blocks written in a program.
Both G70 and G71 are modal, and cancel each other. The default unit
system selected by the control at power-up, end of program (M02, M30, or
M99) and control reset is determined in AMP by your system installer.
The currently active unit system i s usually displayed on the screen for
softkey level 1 in lines 3 or 4 between the [ ] symbols. If the screen
selected for display of softkey level 1 is the status screen, the active system
G code (G71 or G70) is displayed among the active system G codes.
Following is a list of some of the functions that are affected by the active
unit system (inch or metric):
Position commands
Feedrate commands
Axis feed amount for fixed amount feed operation
Unit system for hand pulse generator (HPG)
