Use the MCTO instruction to establish a bidirectional transform that is set up
between a Cartesian and a robot systems with coordinates that are joint axes of a
robot. The XYZ translation coordinates and the RxRyRz orientation coordinates
in the fixed angle convention define the Cartesian coordinates. The geometrical
configurations of the robots typically have joint axes that are not orthogonal. The
coordinate system type, such as Delta, specifies the geometrical configurations.
