The functions

FCT_FFM | FCT_PRESEGMENTATION | FCT_SPLINE | FCT_POLY | FCT_CAX | FCT_CAX_TRACK | FCT_SEGMENTATION

are available.

FCT_FFM

Free form surface mode, #HSC [OPMODE 1 CONTERR 0.01], #HSC [OPMODE 2]

FCT_PRESEGMENTATION

Linear pre segmentation in HSC mode

FCT_SPLINE

#HSC[], AKIMA, B-Spline, G150/G151

FCT_POLY

#CONTOUR MODE[], G61, G261/G260

FCT_CAX

C axis processing, spindle is embedded in NC channel

FCT_CAX_TRACK

#CAX TRACK, tracking operation of an axis corresponding to the contour angle

FCT_SEGMENTATION

For dynamic segmentation of path contour, e.g. if curvature of a polynomial segment is very different.

FCT_LIFT_UP

Automatic lifting/lowering of an axis ( Z[LIFT_START...] ). At the moment this functions is not included in the default function range (FCT_DEFAULT) and has to be enabled always additionally.
