1. Move the tool to the tool-up position.
2. PU.
3. Clear errors.
4. Stop the spindle motor.
5. Reset the coordinate values. The present position of the tool is the
same as the position in the workpiece coordinate system.
<Errors>
No errors.
<Other Matters>
There is no change before and after command execution in the XY origin
point or in the value of Z0 set using the control panel.
PA
(Plot Absolute -- Absolute plot command)
<Format>
PA x1, y1, (, x2, y2,....) [terminator]
PA [terminator]
<Type>
x: float
y: float
<Parameter Range>
x: -8388608.0 to 8388607.0
y: -8388608.0 to 8388607.0
<Description>
A PA command without parameters effects a change to the absolute-
coordinate mode.
When parameters are present, the command effects the absolute-
coordinate mode and performs operation for the coordinate values
specified by the parameters, without change the present state of the tool
(up or down).
<Errors>
For the parameters, a pair of values, x and y, constitute a single set, and
more than one set may be stated.
When the number of parameters is odd, each pair is sequentially
interpreted from the beginning as x and y and is executed accordingly, and
the final remaining odd value generates error 2. Execution is not
performed.
