Switching between C-axis modes

Deselecting of all C-axis modes is done regularly via the deselecting commands (for example via command #CYL OFF). The direct transition to the different modes without deactivation of current active mode is allowed between mode 2 and 3. So for example a typical NC-sequence for transition of C-axis modes is programmed as following:

Programming example

N10 #CAX [..] (Inclusion of the LR-spindle into the path compound) 
.............. 
N120 #FACE [..] (Selection of facing) 
.............. 
N230 #CYL [..] (Direct transition to lateral surface machining) 
......... 
N300 #CYL OFF (Deselection of lateral surface machining and)
(transition to conventional machining with physical ) (C-axis) 
N400 #CAX OFF (Return of the C-axis to the position controlled)
(spindle)
