Programming | G-code and M-Code definitions
M-code Description Comment
The program pauses at a tool command and prompts the user to
complete the tool change. Ensure the tool is clear of the part or is
at the appropriate position before pressing GO to resume.
X † X Axis Coordinate
Z † Z Axis Coordinate
The coordinates represent the destination for the G0, G1, G2,
or G3 command currently in effect. They use the current units
(G20/21 or G70/71) and positioning mode (G90 or G91).
Additional G-code conventions
The following lists some of the expectations and limitations of
programs ran in the control.
Operator comments should be enclosed in parentheses
An operator comment with “MSG” appearing within the text
is considered a message. The text following “MSG” (up to 60
characters) is displayed to the operator at run-time. Program
execution pauses until the operator acknowledges the message
by pressing GO. Format is MSG (Operator message) or MSG
(“Operator message”).
Parametric programming (use of variables or algebraic
operations) is not supported
Program delimiters (“%”) are ignored. Text following the
delimiter is ignored
White space is ignored between address but not within a
numeric value or message
Tool length offset is read from the tool library. For example: In a
G-code file, T1 will use the tool length offset from Tool #1 in the
tool library. T2 will use tool length offset from tool library tool
#2, etc.
