REFERENCE
100S uses positive and negative numbers to display the position of the
tool along each axis. The graphic below shows a typical setup for the
positive and negative count directions for the X-and Z-axes on a lathe.
All of the examples in this manual are based upon this setup.
X-axis:
The axis will move away from the
center for a positive count direction.
Z-axis:
The axis will move away from the
spindle for a positive count direction.
