Notes
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes.
For Dual Processing controls, this is a per process parameter. The value set
in the parameters applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
Important: If you are performing planar functions on parallel axes, both
the parallel axis and the primary axis must be defined to use the same
integrand word.
Function
Use this parameter to determine an axis that is parallel to primary axis 2 for
this G-code. If no parallel axes are used, this parameter is set as “None.”
Up to 4 parallel axes may be set for a select plane. Up to two parallel axes
for each primary axis may be set. These parameters set the second of the
two possible axes that are parallel to the second primary axis in the G17,
G18, or G19 planes.
A parallel plane is selected in a part program by entering the name of the
axis that is parallel to the primary axis in the G-code block that calls the
plane. For example, if the G17 primary plane is the XY plane and V is set
with this parameter to be parallel to the primary axis 2, programming
G17 V1;
would make the XV plane active.
