System information
SECTION ONE – PROGRAM CONFIGURATION
Command formats for axes: M and G codes
Axis commands can be programmed in a calculator format. No leading or trailing zeros are
necessary. Whole numbers may be programmed without the decimal point. A decimal point may
be used with mm, inches, or second values. The location of the decimal point is as follows.
Z15.0 Z15 millimeters or Z15 inches (same as Z15)
F10.0 10 mm/min., or 10 inch/min. (same as F10)
G04 P1 Dwell for one second (same as G4 P1)
The following addresses can be used with a decimal point: X, Y, Z, U, V, W, A, B, C, I, J, K, R,
F, P, Q, AA, AB, XC, YC, E, H, L, N, O, S, and T.
Axis Min/Max Values for Standard Systems
Least Increment Maximum Value
Metric 0.001 mm 99999.999 mm
English 0.0001 inch 99999.9999 inch
Degrees 0.001 deg 99999.999 deg
Axis positions are stored in floating point; therefore, digit commands greater than 8 will be
accepted.
