:
This function is the alternative to the most commonly used
positioning method consisting in presetting an incremental zero
at a point and moving the axis until the display shows the
desired coordinate. The Go to function may be used to do the
same in the opposite direction, you enter the coordinates of the
target point and the DRO screen shows these values with the
negative sign. The operator must move the axes to zero. The
advantage of using this method is that the operator does not
have to memorize the target coordinates, he simply has to
move the axes to zero.
When presetting a value on an axis, press ENTER to go on to
the next axis and validate the data just entered.
