Distance between nodes (only B spline):
PL
The distances between nodes are suitably calculated internally.
The control can also machine pre-defined node clearances that
are specified in the so-called parameter-interval-length using the
PL command.
Parameter interval length
<value>
Range of values: As for path dimension
Transitional behavior at the start of the spline curve (only A or C spline):
BAUTO
No specifications for the transitional behavior. The start is
determined by the position of the first point.
BNAT
Zero curvature
BTAN
Tangential transition to the previous block (delete position)
Transitional behavior at the end of the spline curve (only A or C spline):
EAUTO
No specifications for the transitional behavior. The end is
determined by the position of the last point.
ENAT
Zero curvature
ETAN
Tangential transition to the previous block (delete position)

Note
The programmable transitional behavior has no influence on the B spline. The B spline is
always tangential to the check polygon at its start and end points.
