Post applies the offset and other cycle data parameters that are appropriate to the cycle. XBuild provides the <X-COORD> and <Z-COORD> Reserved Words to receive the path coordinate data. Additional Reserved Words: <ARC-X>, <ARC-Z>, <X-CEN>, <Z-CEN>, <RADIUS> and <S-RAD> are provided by XBuild to receive the circular interpolation modifiers that are needed for arc moves.
If start or endpoints have been defined in FeatureTURN, they become part of the path's definition. Post generates a rapid move from a start point to the first part of the machining operation, and a rapid move from the last move of the operation to the endpoint is also generated.
Optional sequence numbering is defined in Post, and is placed at the beginning of any block that contains the Reserved Word, <SEQ>.
The end of block character (a control code that signals a completed line) is defined by the <EOB> Reserved Word (GENERAL INFO).
