[Explanation]
(1) In the incremental value command mode, the axes travel the distance of the
specified relative value from the start point (0) of the current position.
The positioning command set after execution of this command operates with the
incremental value from the current position.
(2) As this command is modal instruction, it is valid until the absolute value command
mode (G90) is commanded.
(3) The absolute value command mode is selected at a Motion program start.
