<Description>
PU or PD without parameters performs only a tool-up or tool-down
operation.
When parameters are present, the command performs the tool-up or
tool-down operation, then operates to the coordinate value specified by
the parameters.
The parameters used for operation are absolute coordinates when a PA
command has previously been given or relative coordinates when a PR
command has previously been given.
The up or down position uses the height specified using the control panel
or the !PZ or @ command.
The tool-up location is the Z2 location.
The tool-down location is the Z1 location.
When Z2 is outside the cutting range, the tool rises to the maximum height
at which the device can operate.
If X and Y movement is necessary thereafter, the movement is performed
at the maximum height.
If a PD command appears thereafter, there is no pause when moving from
outside to inside the clipping area, even if such a setting has been made.
Operation is performed without change.
