The format for linear interpolation mode is:
G01X ____ Z ____ F ____ ;
Where : Is :
G01 G01 establishes the linear interpolation mode. In linear interpolation mode, the
cutting tool is fed along a straight line at the currently programmed feedrate.
XZ This is the location of the end point of the linear move in the current work
coordinate system.
F The F-word represents the feedrate for axis moves that take place in the G01,
G02, and G03 modes. The F-word does not have to be programmed in the G01
block however, if the F-word is not programmed a feedrate must have been made
active in some previous block.
Linear interpolation can be performed in the absolute mode (G90), or the
incremental mode (G91).
