Later sections describe these words in more detail, including variations in
their meanings when they are associated with certain G codes. All words
described in this manual assume the formats and addresses in the following
table have not been changed by your system installer.
Important: The formats in this table indicate the maximum number of
digits to the left and right of the decimal point for each word. In many
cases, they are not valid together since the control allows a maximum of 8
total digits. See your system installer’s manual for specific formats.
