Setting Up
Before you can run your program, you must set your part absolute position in the DRO
Mode. The CNC will use this absolute position as a reference for running your program.
When running a 3-axis program, you can touch off your Z zero using any of the tools
that are part of your program. You must, however, make sure the tool in the spindle is
the tool that the control thinks is in the spindle. The tool the control thinks is in the
spindle can be found in the status line.
