Sleep mode key
This temporarily turns off the display and keyboard. All other settings are
preserved. Encoder movement is still monitored while in sleep mode.
Press this key again to exit sleep mode. The LED on the front panel
flashes to indicate that the DRO is in sleep mode.
You can also select an integer value ranging from a minimum of 5 minutes
to a maximum of 120 minutes to select the sleep mode timer. The DRO
automatically goes into sleep mode if no operation is done during that
elapsed time.

in/mm key
You use this key to toggle the display units between inches and

Ref key
You use the [
ref
] key to activate the Digifind feature, which you use to
recall a previously set reference (home) position. There are two types of
reference positions:
•
Homing: This is the position that was most recently set in absolute
mode.
•
Machine Reference (M/C Ref): This is the machine's permanent home
position. You set it up in Setup > Axis Settings > Machine Reference.
You should make a permanent mark on the machine when setting
reference points. If the axis has been moved while the DP900 power was
off, you can recall your reference positions using Digifind.
The display must be in absolute mode to use Digifind.
To use Digifind:
1.
Press the [
ref
] key.
2.
Set the axis close to the marked datum, to within:
6.3mm (0.25") for a Spherosyn encoder or
2.5mm (0.1") for a Microsyn encoder.

Select the {
homing
} or {
M/C Ref
} soft key.
4.
The DP900 displays 'Select axis'.
Press the slider bar close to the respective axis.
The DP900 displays 'Referencing', and the axis you selected shows
'Homing' or 'M/C Reference'.
