G Pitch change – only for P= mm/rev or inch/rev
G = 0 The thread pitch P does not change.
G > 0 The thread pitch P increases by the value G per revolution.
G < 0 The thread pitch P decreases by the value G per revolution.
If the start and end pitch of the thread are known, the pitch change to be
programmed can be calculated as follows:
|P

The identifiers have the following meanings:
P
e
End pitch of thread [mm/rev]
P Start pitch of thread [mm/rev]
Z
