Spline grouping
 Up to eight path axes can be involved in a spline
interpolation grouping. The SPLINEPATH instruction
defines which axes are to be involved in the spline.
The instruction is programmed in a separate block. If
SPLINEPATH is not explicitly programmed, then the
first three axes in the channel are traversed as the
spline grouping.
