Function
The end point of interpolation can be designated with polar coordinates (radius and angle).
Polar coordinate input is available only in the mode of polar coordinate interpolation.

Plane selection (for XC-plane)
Polar coordinate interpolation ON
Polar coordinate input ON
Polar coordinate input OFF
Polar coordinate interpolation OFF
3. Notes
 Enter polar coordinates with respect to the plane of polar coordinate interpolation.
Select the appropriate plane beforehand for polar coordinate interpolation.
 Positive values (+) for angle data refer to measurement in the counterclockwise
direction on the plane of polar coordinate interpolation.
 If the G16 command is given without selecting the mode of polar coordinate
interpolation (by G12.1), an alarm will occur.
 If the polar coordinate interpolation mode is cancelled (by G13.1) during polar
coordinate input, the mode of polar coordinate input will be cancelled together with the
mode of polar coordinate interpolation.
