Measurement unit
The setting of the measurement unit in the program header only refers to the position
data in the actual program.
All other data, such as feedrate or tool offsets, are entered in the unit of measure that
you have set for the entire machine.
mm
inch
Work offset
Selection of the work offset in which the zero point of the workpiece is saved.
You can also delete the default value of the parameter if you do not want to specify
a work offset.
Write to the work off‐
set
Enter the work offset in the program
● No
The actual Z value of the selected work offset is used.
● Yes
Enter the work offset in the ZV parameter
The actual Z value of the selected work offset is overwritten with the ZV value.
