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.
