What mode do you have to be in to run your CNC program on the Haas machine?

The Manual Data Input Mode (MDI) is one of the modes your CNC machine can operate in. The idea is to enter G-Codes or M-Codes on a line which are executed immediately by the machine–you don’t have to write an entire g-code program when a line or two will suffice.

What control system does Haas use?

The Haas Visual Programming System (VPS) lets you quickly create G-code programs for basic part features, using form-like templates to define the features.
