Event Cycle Start

At the beginning of each drilling cycle (i.e. at the “CYCLE/DRILL” statement in APT/CL file), the Event Cycle Start. will automatically run at first for once, before Event Cycle. is activated.

Later, Event Cycle. becomes active for all drilling points in the same drilling cycle (i.e. all GOTO lines coming after CYCLE/DRILL and up to CYCLE/OFF).

Unlike most of the other standard events in MANUSpost developer, this event does not have an action type of its own. Instead, “ActionEmpty” is included as standard in Event Cycle Start.

“Action Empty” indicates that nothing will be done for this event. This is true. Because “Event Cycle Start” is only used to reset some parameters or to print some special statements before printing drilling cycles commands.
