Programmable scaling factor: SCALE, ASCALE

Functionality
A scale factor can be programmed for all axes with SCALE, ASCALE. The path is enlarged
or reduced by this factor in the axis specified.
The currently set coordinate system is used as the reference for the scale change.
Programming
SCALE X... Z...
ASCALE X... Z...
SCALE
The instructions that contain SCALE or ASCALE each require a separate block.
Notes
● For circles, the same factor should be used in both axes.
● If an ATRANS is programmed with SCALE/ASCALE active, these offset values are also
Programming example
N10 L10
N20 SCALE X2 Z2
N30 L10
N40 ATRANS X2.5 Z1.8
N50 L10
