Function
This parameter specifies the name of the machine axis that will be virtual
C rotary axis during virtual C cylindrical interpolation. When virtual C
cylindrical interpolation is activated, the rotary axis commands are sent to
the axis specified by this parameter.
Important: If the axis name specified by this parameter is not an axis in
the current machine configuration, the rotary axis commands will be sent
to the spindle.

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