The message window will show the first machining Point
with the X & Y-axis displays left aligned to indicate that it
is operating in a special mode.

Once all the parameters have been entered you can check them by going back through them using the
navigation key . Alternatively you can also start using the function immediately by pressing the key once more.

The following is only required for the XY Plane. (2-axis and 3-axis DRO)
The execution of the function varies between 2-axes and 3-axes DRO for the YZ & XZ planes as we have to
use the Z-dial calibration performed in Setup to simulate the Z-axis on 2-axes DRO systems.
The DRO will simulate a Z-axis position
based on the DIAL INC and Z DIAL
values configured in Setup. It is the
operators responsibility to move the
dials as per the DRO display.

Move X-axis to zero and then move the Z-axis. When you have moved the Z-axis use the message navigation keys to
inform the DRO that the movement has been completed, and move to the next point. This process can be repeated
until the inclined machining operation is completed.
The following is the operating mode on XZ & ZY Plane on 2-axes DRO.
