    Need the variable types for Arc on Fanuc 21 T

    I have a Takisawa lathe with a Fanuc 21-T controler what I was wondering is if anyone could tell me what the variable that need to be supplied to program the G Code for Arc CW & Arc CCW also any others that happen to be important for this controler.
    I am using CamBam and have to configure the Postprocessor for the job.

    to cut circular interpolation CW G02 X.... Z..... I...... K...... R......
    to cut circular interpolation CCW G03 X.... Z..... I...... K...... R......
    if you use I and K omit R
    if you use R omit I and K

    any others.... well you could start by reading a Fanuc manual. There's several hundred pages of important things. Far too much to go into general details here.
