Hello,
On a Fanuc 16-M control, is it possible to change from one-word editing to one-character editing? If so, how do you switch between these two modes?
Thanks for any help.

Maybe the OP is looking for something like this:

#101=10 (travel length before speed increase)
#102=50 (rpm variation every #101 distance)
#103=300 (spindle RPM)...
