Mazatrol Nexus - EIA - Virtual Y-Axis Interpellation?

[Isak Andersson]

Hi again. Since I'm not having much luck with Mazatrol line machining units I decided I'm gonna use an EIA program instead. I was just wondering if someone has a sample program I can copy. As usual, the manual is completely useless. The sample code in the manual even gives me errors.

This is what the manual says:
G07 Y0
G17 G2.1 X0 Y-5. I0 J-10. Z40. P2 F50
G07 Y1

It gives me error: 806 "Illegal Address"
Seems I'm not allowed to enter Y coordinates at all and I'm pretty sure G2.1 isn't a thing. Maybe they meant G21 (Metric command)?

G2.1 is for spiral interpolation which is an option

That would explain it. I got confused because it wasn't in the manual. Is y-axis interpellation an option as well? I'm stuck with Mazatrol then?

What are you trying to do? I'm not sure what "Virtual Y axis interpolation" is?
What machine?

Are you trying to mill on the face of a part in a lathe without Y axis?
If so, G12.1 might be what you're looking for (atleast on fusion controls).

It is the same as ViktorS says on matrix and matrix 2, unsure about nexus but it is probably the same. G13.1 is polar off

Edit: Our Nexus is the same
