| G0 |
linear interpolate at full speed G0X1.0Y2.0X5.33 or G0R234 (ROTATE DEGREES) |
| G1 | linear interpolate at Fn set speed G1X1.0Y2.0 or G1RV34 (ROTATE WITH VARIABLE) |
| G2 | clockwise circular interpolate G2X1.0Y2.3I3.2J2.1 |
| G3 | anti clockwise circular
interpolate. N.B. in this application only RELATIVE Co-Ords are used to describe arc points so be sure to set up code thus, G3X45Y30I85J89 N.B. X,Y = x,y end of arc & I,J = x',y' start of arc as related incrementally to the arc center. e.g. for the above G3 this means the end is X45mm, Y30mm from arc end back to the arc center point, and the start is X'85.3mm,Y'89.1mm from the arc start point back to the arc center point. |
| G17 | circular interpolate in plane = 'XY' |
| G18 | circular interpolate in plane = 'XZ' (
not yet implemmented ) |
| G19 | circular interpolate in plane = 'YZ' ( not yet implemmented ) |
| G38 | G38 sets scale percentage for one axis
at a time. Two types are allowed they are G38VXn and G38Xn The first type contains a "V" as in G38VYn The "V" indicates that a variable is used instead of a value. e.g., G38Van where "V" = variable , "a" = axis X or Y , "n" = number of variable . The value of the variable is 1 -> 100, and the scale is the value of the variable in the range 0 to 100.0 percent e.g. set axis X to half scale, use G55 command to set value of variable to 50 then use G38VX1 where in this case the x axis is set to the value of variable number 1. The second type of G38 is value based e.g. G38an where "a" = axis X or Y , "n" = absolute scale percentage, e.g. G38Y50 = set Y axis to half size. |
| G39A | ABSOLUTE rotate path around current origin anticlockwise. G39A50.8 |
| G39V | VARIABLE rotate path around current origin anticlockwise. G39V1 |
| G50 | set temporary origin at current tool position, use G51 to reset. |
| G51 | cancels last G50 command and returns to ABSOLUTE XYZ |
| G55 | set a single variable to specified
value G55V24A37.0 where "Vn" equals variable[number] and where "An" equals assigned[number] |
| G56 | set a variable calculation block, e.g. G56Vn=Vn+Vn ----- Operators, + = plus, % = subtract, * =
multiply, @ = change sign, / = divide, Variable n = 1 -> 999. Example G56V3=V10*V22 |
| G57 | start subroutine definition block. e.g. G57R3 |
| G58 | close current G57 subroutine definition block. |
| G59 | call subroutine Rn, Cn No of times e.g.
G59R1C6 also non-standard G59RnCVn, uses a variable set by G55 or G56 e.g. G59R3CV6 |
| G70 | set to imperial (inch) measurement units. |
| G71 | set to metric (millimeters) measurement units. |
| G90 | set to ABSOLUTE co-ordinates. |
| G91 | set to RELATIVE co-ordinates. |
| G94 | set feedrate to units per minute. |
