Cartesian mesh
Cylindrical mesh
Component priority governs the order in which the axes are moved.
If Component priority X,Y,Z is selected, the Z axis moves through its range,
then the Y axis moves one step, the Z axis moves back through its range, the
Y axis moves a step and so forth. When the Z and Y ranges are completed,
the X axis moves one step and the Z and Y axis repeat the sequence
described above till the X range has been completed.
The Start position, Increment etc. are self explanatory. There is no upper
limit to the number of positions, but large numbers require much RAM or
virtual memory.
In case of Cylindrical mesh type, the the R and Theta axes are assumed to be
in the plane defined by the traverse controller’s first two channels. The
cylindrical coordinates are converted to X, Y, Z coordinates which are
shown in the Layout view.

If the component priority is changed to Theta, R, Z, the trajectory changes to
the following pattern:
