6.1 Tool Movements
Path functions
A workpiece contour is usually composed of several contour elements 
such as straight lines and circular arcs. With the path functions, you 
can program the tool movements for straight lines and circular arcs.
Miscellaneous functions M
With the TNC's miscellaneous functions you can affect
the program run, e.g., a program interruption
the machine functions, such as switching spindle rotation and 
coolant supply on and off
the path behavior of the tool
Subprograms and program section repeats
If a machining sequence occurs several times in a program, you can 
save time and reduce the chance of programming errors by entering 
the sequence once and then defining it as a subprogram or program 
section repeat. If you wish to execute a specific program section only 
under certain conditions, you also define this machining sequence as 
a subprogram. In addition, you can have a part program call a separate 
program for execution.
Programming with subprograms and program section repeats is 
described in Chapter 7.
