Programming with Q parameters

Instead of programming numerical values in a part program, you enter
markers called Q parameters. You assign the values to the
Q parameters separately with the Q parameter functions. You can use
the Q parameters for programming mathematical functions that
control program execution or describe a contour.

In addition, parametric programming enables you to measure with the
3-D touch probe during program run.

Programming with Q parameters is described in Chapter 10.
