Axis Parameters
4-10
Function
Important: The axis incremental name parameter is used only for lathes
using G-code type A. It is not used for any other lathe types or mill
applications.
These parameters specify the incremental name for each axis of the
control. The numeric value programmed with these axis words generates
an incremental move along the programmed axis.

Notes
Set each parameter independently for its corresponding axis.
Function
This parameter is used only in lathe applications (cylindrical grinder
applications should see page 4-11 Diameter Axis __). Use this parameter
to specify the diameter axis name. This is the axis that is perpendicular to
the spindle. Programming G07 or G08 changes programming between
radius and diameter mode for the diameter axis.
