signals to each axi s to move in the required direction as many
steps as are required to travel the distance. A G-code file can be
written in a text editor or in the G- code w indow in KCam. Aside
from G-code, th ere are also M-code fun ctions. M-code is used
to control the behavior of the program and machine rather than
controlling the axis movement. Tab les 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 li st
G-code and M - code commands that KCam can understand.
