Programming
Three possible methods can be used to program the orientation of the tool:
• Directly as "orientation axes" A, B and C in degrees
• via Euler or RPY angles in degrees with A2, B2, C2
• Using direction vectors A3, B3, C3.
The identifiers for Euler angles and direction vectors can be set in machine data:
Euler angle via machine data:
MD10620 $MN_EULER_ANGLE_NAME_TAB (name of Euler angle)
Direction vectors via machine data:
MD10640 $MN_DIR_VECTOR_NAME_TAB (name of normal vectors)
