Introduction
\layout Standard

AXIS
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{AXIS}

\end_inset 

 is a graphical front-end for EMC2 which features a live preview and backplot.
 It is written in Python
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Python}

\end_inset 

 and uses Tk
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Tk}

\end_inset 

 and OpenGL
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{OpenGL}

\end_inset 

 to display its user interface.

\layout Section

Getting Started
\layout Standard

To select AXIS as the front-end for EMC2, edit the .ini file.
 In the section 
\family typewriter 
[DISPLAY]
\family default 
 change the 
\family typewriter 
DISPLAY
\family default 
 line to read
\layout LyX-Code

DISPLAY = axis
\layout Standard

Then, start EMC2 and select that ini file.
 The sample configuration 
\family typewriter 
sim/axis.ini
\family default 
 is already configured to use AXIS as its front-end.
\layout Standard

When you start AXIS, a window like the one in Figure 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{cap:AXIS-Window}

\end_inset 

 is shown.
\layout Subsection

A typical session
\layout Enumerate

Start EMC and select a configuration file.
\layout Enumerate

\layout Enumerate

Load the file to be milled.
\layout Enumerate

Use the preview plot to verify that the program is correct.
\layout Enumerate

Put the stock to be milled on the table.
\layout Enumerate

Set the proper offsets for each axis by jogging and using the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

\end_inset 

 button.
\layout Enumerate

Run the program.
\layout Enumerate

To mill the same file again, return to step 6.
 To mill a different file, return to step 4.
 When you're done, exit AXIS.
\layout Section

Axis Display
\layout Standard

The AXIS window contains the following elements:
\layout Itemize

A display area that shows a preview of the loaded file (in this case, 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

axis.ngc
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

), as well as the current location of the CNC
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{CNC}

\end_inset 

 machine's 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

controlled point
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

.
 Later, this area will display the path the CNC machine has moved through,
 called the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

backplot
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 


\layout Itemize

A menubar and toolbar that allow you to perform various actions
\layout Itemize


\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

Manual Control
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Manual}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

, which allows you to make the machine move, turn the spindle on or off,
 and turn the coolant on or off
\layout Itemize


\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

Code Entry
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 (also called MDI
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{MDI}

\end_inset 

), where G-code programs can be entered manually, one line at a time.
\layout Itemize


\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

Feed Override
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{feed override}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

, which allows you to increase or decrease the speed at which EMC executes
 the selected program.
\layout Itemize

A text display area that shows the G-code source of the loaded file.
\layout Itemize

A status bar which shows the state of the machine.
 In this screenshot, the machine is turned on, does not have a tool inserted,
 and the displayed position is 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

Relative
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{position: relative}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 to the machine offset (as opposed to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

Absolute
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{position: absolute}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

), and the
