Settings for involute interpolation - only 840D sl
Introduction
The involute of the circle is a curve traced out from the end point on a "piece of string" unwinding
from the curve. Involute interpolation allows trajectories along an involute.

In addition to the programmed parameters, machine data is relevant in two instances of involute
interpolation; this data may need to be set by the machine manufacturer / end user.
