Parabola

G code: G6

Function: The command interpolates a parabola which is defined by the coordinates of the end point X/Y/Z and the vertex I/J. The vertex is the point where the tangent of the element is parallel to the connecting line of the start and end point.

Tip

A parabola is a 2.5D object that is always in the X/Y-plane. Parabolas on other planes are not supported.
