The modal Groups for G codes are

· group 1 = {G00, G01, G02, G03, G38.2, G80, G81, G82, G84, G85,

G86, G87, G88, G89} motion

· group 2 = {G17, G18, G19} plane selection

· group 3 = {G90, G91} distance mode

· group 5 = {G93, G94} feed rate mode

· group 6 = {G20, G21} units

· group 7 = {G40, G41, G42} cutter radius compensation

· group 8 = {G43, G49} tool length offset

· group 10 = {G98, G99} return mode in canned cycles

· group 12 = {G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, G59, G59.xxx} coordinate

· group 13 = {G61, G61.1, G64} path control mode

The modal groups for M codes are:

¨ group 4 = {M00, M01, M02, M30} stopping

¨ group 6 = {M06} tool change

¨ group 7 = {M03, M04, M05} spindle turning

¨ group 8 = {M07, M08, M09} coolant (special case: M07 and M08 may

be active at the same time)

¨ group 9 = {M48, M49} enable/disable feed and speed override controls

In addition to the above modal groups, there is a group for non-modal

G codes:

¨ group 0 = {G04, G10, G28, G30, G53, G92, G92.1, G92.2, G92.3}
