• DIRECTION—defines the direction, clockwise or counterclockwise, of the arc
from the start point.
• R END—defines the starting distance from the centerline.
• C END (DEG)—defines the angle of the arc segment end point, measured
counterclockwise from the home position.
• R START—contains the starting distance from the centerline. This read-only
field is carried forward from the previous segment and can only be edited in
that screen.
• C START (DEG)—contains the angle of the arc segment start point,
measured counterclockwise from the home position. This read-only field is
carried forward from the previous segment and can only be edited in that
screen.
• R CENTER—defines the starting distance from the centerline.
• C CENTER (DEG)—defines the angle of the arc segment center point,
measured counterclockwise from the home position.
• RADIUS—defines the radius of the arc.
• FEED—contains the feed rate from the previous segment. This value can be
accepted or changed.
