Comment Block

Comment blocks are useful for the programmer to outline tooling requirements and part setup data. Comment blocks display text to the operator during program execution when the block is encountered in the program. The amount of time a comment block is visible can be programmed in the comment data block. Subsequent machining data blocks will continue to execute during this time. 

When posting Conversational programs to NC, Comment Blocks explain the program code or provide information, such as setup instructions.
