Cartesian gantry kinematic type
Offset of the zero point of Cartesian coordinate x relative to
the zero point of axis coordinate A
Offset of the zero point of Cartesian coordinate y relative to
the zero point of axis coordinate A
Offset of the zero point of Cartesian coordinate z relative to
the zero point of axis coordinate A
Select 2D or 3D (determines the number of axes involved)
