Defining the machining plane with Euler angles:
EULER PLANE
Function
Euler angles define a machining plane through up to three rotations
about the respectively tilted coordinate system. The Swiss
mathematician Leonhard Euler defined these angles. When applied to
the machine coordinate system, they have the following meanings:
Precession angle
EULPR Rotation of the coordinate system around the Z
axis
Nutation angle
EULNU Rotation of the coordinate system around the X
axis already shifted by the precession angle
Rotation angle
EULROT Rotation of the tilted machining plane around the
tilted Z axis
Before programming, note the following

function" on page 494.
