The control uses the DEP LN function to depart a contour on a straight line perpendicular to the last contour point.
Application
Description of function

- The control departs the contour as follows:
- On a straight line from the last contour point PE to the end point PN
- The line leads away from the last contour point PE on a perpendicular path.
PN is separated from PE by the distance LEN plus the tool radius.
