For the arc command, the arc end point coordinates are assigned with addresses X, Y (or Z, or
parallel axis X, Y, Z), and the arc center coordinate value is assigned with addresses I, J (or K).
Either an absolute value or incremental value can be used for the arc end point coordinate value
command, but the arc center coordinate value must always be commanded with an incremental
value from the start point.
The arc center coordinate value is commanded with an input setting unit. Caution is required for
the arc command of an axis for which the input command value differs. Command with a decimal
point to avoid confusion.
