Example 4: Indirectly programming an axis
Direct programming:
Program code
X1=100 X2=200
Indirect programming:
Program code
DEF AXIS AXVAR1 AXVAR2
AXVAR1=(X1) AXVAR2=(X2)
AX[AXVAR1]=100 AX[AXVAR2]=200
Example 5: Indirectly programming an axis
Direct programming:
Program code
G2 X100 I20
Indirect programming:
Program code
DEF AXIS AXVAR1=X
G2 X100 IP[AXVAR1]=20
Example 6: Indirectly programming array elements
Direct programming:
Program code
DEF INT ARRAY1[4,5]
Indirect programming:
Program code
DEFINE DIM1 AS 4
DEFINE DIM2 AS 5
DEF INT ARRAY[DIM1,DIM2]
ARRAY[DIM1-1,DIM2-1]=5
