2) Point unit
Set the resolution ranging from starting position of main axis to ending position of main axis on each step
data of CAM block data setting. When CAM data is created, calculate the position of sub axis corresponding
to the position of main axis from the starting position of main axis by point unit. The smaller point unit is, the
more no. of CAM data is, so you may execute much smoother CAM operation. However, if point unit is
small, no. of CAM data exceeds 2048, so there is a chance that user can not create CAM data.

Remark
When set CAM block data aft
er point unit setting, “Ending position of main axis” must be set as positive
multiple number of point unit. For example, if the unit of main axis is “degree” and point unit is 10,
“Ending position of main axis” must be set as multiple number of 10 like 40, 90, 180, ···.
