All of the axes may be assigned to one group if it is desired. This results in
3-dimensional zones as shown in Figure 6.1.
Choose from these options for this parameter:
Belongs to no groups -- When this is selected, it indicates that zones 2 and
3 are not used for this axis.
Group 1 -- If this is selected for an axis, it indicates that its values for
programmable zones 2 and 3 are checked simultaneously with any other
axis in group 1.
Group 2 -- If this is selected for an axis, it indicates that its values for
programmable zones 2 and 3 are checked simultaneously with any other
axis in group 2.
