When parameter AIH (No.7057#1) is set to “1”with inch input and millimeter output during AI contour
control / AI nano contour control mode, CNC does the following inch/metric conversion before executing the
acceleration/deceleration before interpolation. By this method, CNC controls the acceleration/deceleration so
that the time constant of acceleration /deceleration becomes the same as that of millimeter input.
( inch input : inch, deg unit )

Convert to millimeter input command so that the each axis movement and feedrate in inch
input becomes the same as those of millimeter input.

AIH At inch input and millimeter output, the feedrate control of AI contour control / AI nano
contour control mode :
0 : Feedrate is calculated with 1 inch = 1 deg.
1 : Feedrate is calculated with 1 mm = 1 deg.
(The time constant of rotation axis becomes the same as that of linear axis.)
