Field descriptions:
"Set coordinate system" : sets the work coordinate system for saving the tool length after taking automatic
measurement.
Corresponding numerical values are to be entered in the input areas as settings. 54
to 59 (G54 to G59), 101 to 200 (G54P1 to G54P100).
"Spacing between multiple spindles" : sets the distance between spindles.
"First tool alignment" : sets whether it is the first tool alignment. (0: No 1: Yes)
"Number of tool alignment" : set the number of tool alignment. (0 to 10)
"Tool alignment speed" : set the feed speed (mm/min) during tool alignment, which is generally 100 to 300.
"X axis machine coordinate of the tool alignment instrument" : sets the machine coordinate of X axis
above the tool alignment instrument. Press 【 XY guide 】 for guided input
after the tool is moved to the designated position.
"Tool alignment instrument's Y axis machine coordinate" : sets the machine coordinate of the Y axis above
the tool alignment instrument. Press 【 XY guide 】 for guided input after the
tool is moved to the designated position.
"Tool alignment starting point Z's machine coordinate" : sets the machine coordinate for starting tool
alignment on the Z axis. Press 【 Z axis guide 】 for guided input after moving
the cursor to this field.
"machine coordinate of Z's lowest tool alignment point" : sets the machine coordinate of the lower limit
position for tool alignment on the Z axis. Press 【 Z axis guide 】 for guided
input after moving the cursor to this field.

Key function descriptions:
【 Start tool alignment 】 : this function key is for carrying out automatic tool alignment.
【 Pause tool alignment 】 : this function key can be used to pause automatic tool alignment.
【 XY axis guide 】 : this function key can be used to set the XY axis' machine coordinate value after the tool is
moved to a position above the tool alignment instrument.
【 Z axis guide 】 : this function key is for setting the current machine coordinate of the Z axis.
