Setting device and computer readable medium

A setting device comprising:

• a memory configured to store a program;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the program and control the setting device to:
• receive a specification of a first setting value for at least one or more parameters on control of a machine tool;
• receive a specification of a second setting value for the parameter after the reception of the first setting value;
• receive a specification of a selection condition for determining which one of the first setting value and the second setting value is selected;
• and
• select, based on the selection condition whose specification is received, any one of the first setting value and the second setting value as a setting value that is applied to the parameter;
• wherein the selection condition is provided for each purpose of machining performed by the machine tool and is a condition in which selection criteria for the first setting value and the second setting value individually differ according to the purpose of the machining;
• and
• wherein the processor is further configured to execute the program and control the setting device to apply any one of the first setting value and the second setting value selected to the parameter so as to control the machine tool based on the applied setting value.
