 The following formula can be used to calculate a proposed value for 
MP_axPathJerk. The formula is conceived for the calculated jerk to be large 
enough that the acceleration of the axis is not impaired. 
MP_axPathJerk
Axis-specific maximum jerk on path contours

HEIDENHAIN recommends entering the permissible jerk for each axis in 
MP_axPathJerk and MP_axPathJerkHi. This way the jerk is based on the 
weakest axis participating in a motion.

and the look-ahead starting on page XXX.
