Circle with tangential transition: CT
Functionality
With CT and the programmed end point in the current plane G17 through G19, a circle is generated which is connected
tangentially to the previous path segment (circle or straight line) in this plane.
This defines the radius and center point of the circle from the geometric relationships of the previous path section and the
programmed circle end point.
See the following illustration for circle with tangential transition to the previous path section:
