Home Marker Distance
These parameters are read only. They correspond to the current home marker
distance. These parameters will contain the distance to marker calculated
when the axis stopped after the home switch went false during the last
homing operation.

#5751 to 5763
Home Marker Tolerance
These parameters are read only. They correspond to the current home marker
tolerance. These parameters will contain the tolerance value at power turn on
and will represent 3/8 of an electrical cycle of the feedback device converted
to current axis programming units (inch/metric, degrees or revolutions).

Paramacro parameters are provided by on the control to allow a means of
communicating values between the PAL program and the part program.
This is done by assigning values to specific paramacro parameters or PAL
flags. They are:
Input parameters: Use these parameters to transfer data from PAL to the
part program.
Output parameters: Use these parameters to transfer data from the part
program to PAL. Some applications may, however, use the output flags
to transfer data from PAL to the part program as needed.
