SmithyCNC Programmer’s Reference Manual: Language Overview

1-11

For several modal groups, when a machining center is ready to accept com-

mands, one member of the group must be in effect. There are default settings

for these modal groups. When the machining center is turned on or otherwise

re-initialized, the default values are automatically in effect.

Group 1, the first group on the table, is a group of G codes for motion. One of

these is always in effect. That one is called the current motion mode.

It is an error to put a G-code from group 1 and a G-code from group 0 on the

same line if both of them use axis words. If an axis word-using G-code from

group 1 is implicitly in effect on a line (by having been activated on an earlier

line), and a group 0 G-code that uses axis words appears on the line, the activty

of the group 1 G-code is suspended for that line. The axis word-using G-codes-

from group 0 are G10, G28, G30, and G92.

It is an error to include any unrelated words on a line with O- flow control.
