6. Primary functions
6.1 Absolute / Incremental mode (ABS / INC)
The [
] key toggles between the Absolute / Incremental position display.
Absolute mode displays the positions of all axes from a fixed datum.
The Incremental mode displays each position relative to the last position. This is also
known as point to point use.
After switching to incremental mode, the user can reset the axis without changing the
absolute datum. When switched back to Absolute Mode the original datum is intact.
Note
: At the beginning of each working session, set the datum in Absolute Mode, and
then switch the DRO to Incremental Mode. By using the DRO in this way, you can
return the machine to its absolute datum at anytime, simply by switching back to
Absolute Mode
.
6.2 Inch Metric Display (In / mm)
The [
] key toggles between the Inch units (in) or the millimeter units (mm).
The unit is displayed at top on left side of the display.
