=== About Techno Docs ===

This site aims to collect all the documentation in one easy-to-access location for everyone who uses or works on a Techno machine. We're currently in Beta, which means not everything is available online, and some information may be misleading. That's a work in progress.

As soon as we feel comfortable with the amount and quality of the information here, we'll remove the BETA tag on the logo, and you can feel comfortable knowing the information has been checked and is accurate.

If you notice anything that doesn't seem to correlate to your experience, please send us an email! We aim to fix problems quickly. If you have an idea about something that would be helpful to you, please contact us so we can get it online.

Thanks!

{|
|<pre>X, Y, Z, A</pre>
|= axis identifiers

|-
|<pre>x, y, z, a</pre>
|= distance in incremental units, or absolute coordinates, to which the axes specified by the preceding upper case letter is designated to move

|}

=== Purpose ===

Moves one or more of the axes, at the cutting or feed speed, along a straight line to a specified position or a specified distance away from the current position. Location is designated by absolute coordinates when this command is preceded by the Absolute Coordinate command. Distance is specified by incremental units when this command is preceded by the Incremental Coordinate command.

=== Example ===

<pre>G91
G1 X-3.50 Y-4.00 Z1.00
M30
</pre>

The first command in this set indicates that the cutting command in line 2 will be performed in incremental motion. In line 3, the axes will move at the cutting speed as follows: the X axis will move 3.5 units away in a negative direction from its previous position, the Y axis will move 4 units away in a positive direction from its previous position, and the Z axis will move 1 unit away in a positive direction from its previous position.
