Moving to the Home Position
Figure 3-7. Moving to Home position (screen is blue moving).
If the Home position has not yet been defined and saved, the home position values for all
axes will default to 1,000 microns, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-8. Factory default Home position.
If the Home position has been previously defined (saved), pressing HOME will make a move
to the defined home position (see example in the following figure).
Figure 3-9. Example Home position defined and saved.
To move to the home position, press HOME. If the current position before pressing HOME is
greater than the home position, the movement will be as follows:
NOTE: Movement to the Home position works only if X coordinates of the HOME position
are less than the WORK position. HOME and WORK positions cannot be the same.
Movement begins by retracting the X and Z axis together (at the angle currently set) away
from the sample. Movement then continues along the X axis toward the home position. The
final movement is along the Y-axis towards the operator and away from the microscope.
NOTE: Step 3 occurs only if “Y-Lockout” is disabled. Otherwise, no movement along the Y-
axis occurs.

Moving to the Work Position
Figure 3-10. Example Work position
To move to the Work position, press the WORK button. If the current position before
pressing WORK is less than the Work position, the movement will be as follows:
1.
Movement travels along the Y-axis away from the operator and towards the microscope.
