Axis Program Format Parameters
This chapter covers the Axis Program Format parameters. These
parameters specify the word formats that must be used when specifying
axis position and/or distance in part programs. The specified format limits
the number of digits that may be entered to the left and to the right of the
decimal point when entering an axis word. There are additional
parameters in this group that can be set to determine zero suppression and
error checking if a letter or number is missing.
