Important: G10 blocks may not be programmed when TTRC is active.
Incremental/A bsolute Mode and the G10L2 C ommand
When you program in incremental mode (G91), any values entered into
the work c oordinate system table using the G10 command are added to the
currently active work coordinate system values. When you program in
absolute mode (G90), any values entered into the work coordinate system
table using the G10 command replace the currently active work coordinate
system values.
Example 11.3 and Figure 11.7 illustrate how the work coordinate system is
shifted using G10.

Important: This modification is permanent. The new table values for the
work coordinate systems are saved even when the control power is turned
off.
