Format Cycle Off

This command can be added by right-clicking on the “Drilling Cycle” heading inside “Commands” tab.

It is used in the NC program to deactivate (to end) the drilling cycles.

In the APT/CL file, all drilling cycles are terminated with CYCLE/OFF. In response to this, the Format Cycle Off. command is activated in MANUSpost and the codes required to close the drilling cycle should be defined inside this command.

The drilling cycle termination statement, expressed by the lines “CYCLE/OFF” in the APT/CL file, first activates the Event Cycle End. in MANUSpost. “ActionCycleOff” is included as standard in “Event Cycle End”. “ActionCycleOff” runs “Format Cycle Off”.
