The axis indicated by the symbol moves.
This indicates the number of steps of movement for each click of
the hand wheel. Lower scaling factors produce correspondingly
slower movement, enabling you to accomplish precise position-
ing. One step is 0.001 millimeters. For instance, when this is [x100],
moving the hand wheel one click produces 0.1 millimeters of
movement. Note that when you're in the RML-1 mode, [x1] can-
not be selected.
This selects the axis you want to move. The [A] key is used when
the optional rotary axis unit is installed.
Each press of this changes the scaling factor for the number of
steps of movement.
When an axis has been selected, turning this moves the axis.
