11.4 Advanced Programming
The read only variables are set in Blocks N60 to N90. Then, the
sub-program is called. At Block N170, the first move is made along the
X-axis, followed by a move along the Y-axis. At Blocks N190 and N200,
the logical negative sign makes the axis move in the opposite
direction. The contents of the variables remain the same.
At Block N220, a loop, which ends at Block N310, is set up. The loop
runs the number of times contained in variable #154. The first move in
the loop is in the X and Y axes to the side of cut value in #153. In Block
N240, #111 decrements at each pass through the loop, by the value
of the side cut. This value, in turn, is used to calculate a new length of
cut for each side.
