ZERO APPROACHING ALERT
In order to make machining operations easier when the position to reach is the dimension
“0” mm (or inches), it is possible to set an active window so that the tool signals the
dimension zero is approaching.
Let us suppose we want to set the following alert window:
X axis = 1.5 mm
Y axis = 0 mm (no window)
press

0. 0 0

X
The value set on X axis is displayed
press

X
X axis returns to displaying the position and we shift to examining the following axis.
The value set on Y axis is displayed.
press
0
1 2 3. 4 5
Y
Y axis returns to displaying the position and we shift to examining the following axis (Z
axis) if the tool has 3 axes.
All the displacements that we perform along the X axis will be signalled if the position
reaches the active window set (ex. +/- 1.5mm).
REMARKS
1. This function is operational on axes in linear reading mode only.
2. The window set on one axis is stored permanently.
3. In order to disable visual signalling on one or more axes, set a window to value = 0
4. Alert signalling consists of a flashing of the entire part of the dimension value
displayed on the axis and of a single beep alert every time you pass on the window.
5.
When the zero dimension value is reached, the visual signalling ends.
