The POSITION DISPLAY reflects the present location of each axis in relation
to the existing software home, either while jogging or during a program run. The
position number tells you how many units away from the software home (in either
direction) the axes are.
As you jog to the position where you want to set your new software home, the
position counters (X, Y, Z and A if applicable) will change to reflect the new
locations of the axes. To establish a location as your new software home
position, the position counters in the Run Window must be reset to a Zero All
position before running your program.
A shortcut window to manipulate the axes position will pop up when you
double-click in the Position Display area. The purpose of this window is to be
able to tweak the position counters while the program is in Pause mode. After
you make the changes you want, click the Apply button and the changes will be
made when after the window closes. |
