C.3 Circular Interpolation
Executing circular interpolation from the current position as the starting point requires the center coordinates of the circle. Select either a CW or CCW circular interpolation direction and enter the circle center coordinates (incremental or absolute). The circular interpolation function draws a circle from the current position to the end coordinate, moving CW or CCW. The positional deviation from the specified curve is ±0.5 LSB. The LSB corresponds to the resolution of the mechanical system (size of the cells in the figure).
The figure on the right is an example of how a simple circle with a radius of 11 units is created.
