SKEW_SLAVE_ABSOLUTE_POSITION, skew_set
Data Type
LREAL (array)
Read/Write Read only
Array Index skew_set
Control Type Lathe/Mill/Grinder 1
1 Grinder Control Type is not available for Release 1 of 9/PC.
Use this data item to identify the absolute position of the skew slave
axis for a skew axis pair. The control supports two sets of skew axe
so the dimension of the skew_set array is two. For example:
SKEW_SLAVE_ABSOLUTE_POSITION, 1
would return the axis position of the skew slave axis for skew set 1.
Multiprocess systems still have a maximum of two skew axis total.
VIRTUAL_FORMATS, disp_mode
Data Type
INT

(AXIS_POSITION_ABS, AXIS_POSITION_DTG,
AXIS_POSITION_PRG, and AXIS_POSITION_TAR). This is an
an array of 4 integers. The argument disp_mode selects the integers
as follows:
VIRTUAL_FORMATS,1 Absolute Displays
