The format for this block is as follows:
,A__ L__;
Where : Is :
,A Angle - This word is always displayed as by the control even if the angle is
named differently in AMP. If you have a 9/240 program that uses a different
address than ,A and you want to run the program on a 9/260 or 9/290 control the
angles will work but the control names them ,A.
L Length - This word determines the length of the tool path. It is measured from
the start point to the end point of the move along a linear path. No coordinate
points are necessary.
Important: If any axis word from the current plane is designated in the
block the L word is ignored and the control calculates the end point from
the angle and the axis word. If an angle (,A) or a length (L) is
programmed in a block that also contains both axis words in the current
plane, then QPP is not performed and the control ignores the ,A and the L
words in the block.
