Continuous Cyclic Axes

These axes can turn indefinitely to either direction. They are completely cyclic, in terms of the angles they accept. For instance, they can move from +179 degrees to -179 degrees and properly interpret this motion as a 2 degree CCW rotation.

Cyclic axes should have the angle range defined as a single 360 degrees interval, such as 0 to 360 or -180 to 180. GPP2 will ensure that the output angles fall into this range.

An axis is defined as cyclic by setting one of the following variables to TRUE_: M5_A_CYCLIC for the alpha axis, and M5_B_CYCLIC for the beta axis. Defining an axis as cyclic overrides any other setting (For example, resettable).
