Important: If backing up a table using a G10 program (such as the offset
tables or coordinate system tables), keep in mind the G10 program output
is generated in the current format of the control (LZS or TZS). If you
intend to transport this table to a different machine it must also be using the
same format.
Your system installer can also set an AMP parameter to generate an error
or use a value of zero for characters that are programmed without numeric
values. If this AMP feature is disabled, programming:
GX; rapid move to X zero
M; program stop
would result in the actions described in the comments following the blocks.
If you enable the feature, the error “NUMERIC MISSING” would have
occurred upon execution of either of those blocks.
In alphabetical order, Table 10.B shows the addresses for words that are
recognized by the control, their typical formats, and their general
meanings. Since most of these formats are configured in AMP, see the
documentation prepared by your system installer.
You can alter many of the addresses themselves in AMP. This table
assumes the most common names (such as X and Z for the main axes).
Alterable addresses are indicated by the note “AMP assigned”.
