G01 c Linear interpolation. Used to make a feed rate move either straight or at an angle.
G02 c Circular interpolation. Used to make a feed rate move in a clockwise direction.
G03 c Circular interpolation. Used to make a feed rate move in a counter-clockwise direction.
G04 n Dwell - time delay
G40 Cancel compensation offset
G41 Compensation offset left
G42 Compensation offset right
G90 Absolute positioning
G91 Incremental positioning
Note: The lower case "c" to the right of the codes are the coordinates needed and are as follows:

Other ( Codes or Words )
F n Feed rate. Used to set the speed the tool will move along the part. Could be in inches or in millimeters.
S n Spindle speed. Used to set the revolutions per minute ( rpm ) of the spindle rotation.
T n Tool selection. Used to change to a tool position on a machine with multiple tool holders.
D n Tool offset. If the machine uses "D" then a page listing the offsets should be found.
Note: The lower case "n" to the right of the codes is a number value. Some codes are not used or are handled differently because of the varied applications and uses of the machine.
