The format for this block is as follows:

Length -This worddeterminesthelengthofthe tool path. Itis measuredfrom

points are necessary.

Important: If any axis word from the current plane is designated in the

block the L w ord is ignored and the control calculates the end point from

the angle and the axis word. If an angle (,A) or a length (L) is

programmed in a block that also contains both axis words in the current

plane, then QPP is not performed and the control ignores the ,A and the L

words i n the block.
