Each operation has its own unique panel. The contour Out panel is shown above.
Generally the panels are divided into two parts. The operation parameters on the left and the tool parameters on the right

Offset compensation Strategy
The offset compensation strategy is only available for the G41/G42 inside and outside offsetting operations and has the following three selectable options:
At Safe Z
The compensation occurs at Safe Z height. When the tool plunges into the material it is in an already compensated state. Once the final pass has completed, the tool retracts to Safe Z before cancelling offset compensation.
First/Last pass
The compensation moves occur on the first and last pass only and at the material level. This should not be used where these is a possibility of the exit compensation move occurring at full depth into material. That would include any inside offsets and outside where the contour was not on the edge of the material.
Every pass
This is the default setting and although slower due to the repeated lift and plunge, it should leave the cleanest finish.
