      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>LN determines all possible norm times for operations by
interpolation between the minimum and maximum values for the two axes.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>You can also specify a factor to calculate the norm time, for example,
the
number of holes to be drilled.</Paragraph>

         <FuncDesc>A table that contains the times required to perform a task
		(norm times), or the numbers of times that a task can be performed in a
		specific unit of time (norm units). The norm times or norm units depend on two
		series of values presented in the columns (X-axis) and the rows (Y-axis) of the
		table.</FuncDesc>

            <Paragraph>The time that it costs to drill a hole depends on the
		  material's thickness, and the hole's diameter. A norm table that contains norm
		  times can look like this:</Paragraph>
