AXIS Modals

This is a modal type 2.  It is used for numeric input with axis motion.  X, Y and Z entries use this type of modal.  It is handled the same way as a numeric modal except it keeps track of the absolute position of the axis regardless of incremental or absolute mode.  Use this modal for all axis type entries in the $pp file.

Example:

X#5.4#6.2;M#2=X

Y#5.4#6.2;M#2=Y

Z#5.4#6.2;M#2=Z

These lines determine that the X, Y, and Z axis calls are a modal type 2 because they are each axes called in the postprocessor.  They would output a letter (X, Y, or Z) and either a 5.4 format in inch mode, or 6.2 format in metric mode each time one of them are called into play.
