Cylindrical/Virtual C Parameters
Chapter 30
30-4
Function
This parameter specifies the name of the machine axis that will be the
cylindrical linear axis during cylindrical interpolation. The linear axis and
the rotary axis will be the two axes of the circular plane during cylindrical
interpolation. Linear axis motions are interpolated with rotary axis
motions to cut contours on the cylindrical workpiece.
Important: The machine axis named as the linear axis must be an axis in
the current machine configuration.

Notes
This parameter is used for mill controls only. For dual--processing
controls, this is a per process parameter. The value set with this parameter
applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
This feature is not available on the 9/230 control.
