G14 disables scaling on all axes. When you disable scaling, the center of
scaling and any scaling magnification factors are cleared. The next time
you enable scaling, these values must be reset. In addition to G14, M99 in
the main program, M02, M30, and a control reset operation disables
scaling. The system powers up with scaling disabled.
Your system installer specifies in AMP, on an axis by axis basis, whether
scaling is allowed. Refer to the literature provided by your system installer
for additional information.
The control provides the PAL program with the option of monitoring
which axes are currently being scaled, on an axis-by-axis basis, through the
PAL flag $SCAX. See the PAL Reference manual for additional
information.
