2.1.2 Types of Coordinate Systems
The following coordinate systems can be used to operate the manipulator:
• Joint Coordinates 
Each axis of the manipulator moves independently. 
• Cartesian Coordinates 
The tool tip of the manipulator moves parallel to any of the X-, Y-,
and Z-axes. 
• Cylindrical Coordinates 
The  axis moves around the S-axis. The R-axis moves parallel to
the L-axis arm. For vertical motion, the tool tip of the manipulator
moves parallel to the Z-axis. 
• Tool Coordinates 
The effective direction of the tool mounted in the wrist flange of the
manipulator is defined as the Z-axis. This axis controls the
coordinates of the end point of the tool. 
• User Coordinates 
The XYZ-cartesian coordinates are defined at any point and angle. 
The tool tip of the manipulator moves parallel to the axes of them.
