MCS machine coordinate system
The machine axes are displayed in mm/inch and/or degrees in MCS display mode.
WCS workpiece coordinate system
If the transformation is active, the tool tip (TCP) is specified in mm/inch and the orientation by
the RPY angles A, B and C in WCS display mode. The tool orientation results from turning a
vector in the Z direction firstly with A around the Z axis, then with B around the new Y axis and
lastly with C around the new X axis.
If the transformation is deactivated, the axes will be displayed with the channel axis
coordinates. Otherwise the geometry axis coordinates will be displayed.
