EDM Trajectory Blocks

EDM Setup 3D trajectory is handled in "toolpath-like" manner, with a series of "EDM TRAJECTORY" blocks. Note that GPP2 generates two separate types of blocks for trajectory motions:

EDM TRAJECTORY LOCATION blocks are used in the descriptive section.
EDM TRAJECTORY OPERATION blocks are used in the operative section.

The data is the same, and describes the 3D trajectory as a series of blocks in reverse order relative to how it was defined inside EDM Setup.

The series always starts with an "initial" position (calculated "backwards"), so if 3D trajectory has been defined, at least 2 blocks are always created (initial + at least one motion).

There are 3 types of trajectory blocks, characterized by variable TRAJ_TYPE:

TRAJ_TYPE	Meaning
0	The initial location, in X, Y, Z and C (angle around Z).
1	Linear motion, describing the target X, Y, and Z (C is not changed).
2	Rotation motion, describing both the target C angle and the relative rotation angle (X, Y and Z and not changed).
