3.5 Coordinate programming
3.5.1 Cartesian coordinates
Coordinates are programmed according to a Cartesian coordinate system. This system
consists of two axes in the plane and three or more in space.
Definition of position values
The position of a point in this system is given by its coordinates in the different axes. The
coordinates are programmed in absolute or incremental coordinates and in millimeters or
inches.
Standard axes (X...C)
The coordinates are programmed with the axis name followed by the coordinate value.
Numbered axes (X1...C9)
If the axis name is like X1, Y2... the "=" sign must be included between the axis name and
the coordinate.
