4 Machine Parameters
4.1 What is a Machine Parameter?
A contouring control must have access to specific data (e.g., traverse
distances, acceleration) before it can execute its programmed instructions.
You define these data in machine parameters.
This list of machine parameters is divided into groups according to topic.
If there is more than one input value for a single function (e.g., a separate input
for each axis), the parameter number is extended by indices. Index zero is
always axis 1, index one is axis 2, etc.
Example:
