As soon as a PLANE function is active, the TNC shows the
calculated spatial angle in the additional status display. As a
rule, the TNC internally always calculates with spatial angles,
independent of which PLANE function is active.
In Distance-To-Go mode (ACTDST and REFDST) when tilting (MOVE
or TURN mode), the TNC shows the path in the rotary axis to the
defined (or calculated) end position of the rotary axis.
