NOTE
The number of simultaneously controllable axes for manual
operation jog feed, manual reference position return, or
manual rapid traverse) is 1 or 3 (1 when bit 0 (JAX) of
parameter 1002 is set to 0 and 3 when it is set to 1).
The names of three basic axes are always X, Y, and Z. The name of an
additional axis can be set to A, B, C, U, V, or W by using parameter 1020.
Parameter No. 1020 is used to determine the name of each axis.
When this parameter is set to 0 or a character other than the valid
characters is specified, an axis name from 1 to 4 is assigned by default.
When a default axis name (1 to 4) is used, operation in the MEM mode
and MDI mode is disabled.
If a duplicate axis name is specified in the parameter, operation is enabled
only for the axis specified first.
