Setting the datum at the centerline
The position of the centerline is determined by probing two edges,
either in the X or Y direction.
 Press the Probe soft key.
 Press the Centerline soft key. The message Move
to first edge appears in the message bar.
 Move the edge finder until it makes contact with the work piece
edge, and the message changes to Move to second edge.
 Move the edge finder towards the second edge of the work piece
until it makes contact, and the Move to second edge message
disappears.
 Retract the edge finder from the work piece
 The diameter of the edge finder and direction of motion are used to
set the datum at the midpoint between the two edges.
 To set the midpoint to a specific value, add or subtract an offset to
the datum coordinate. For example, to have X = 1.5; press
the +(PLUS), 1,
• , 5, and ENTER hard keys.
Setting the datum at the center of a circle
The center of a circular feature is determined by probing 3 edges
around the circle in the X and Y direction.
 Press the Probe soft key.
 Press the Circle Center soft key. The message
Move to first edge appears in the message bar.
 Move the edge finder towards a point on the circumference until it
makes contact. The message changes to Move to second edge.
 Probe two additional points on the circumference in the same
manner.
 The datum is now located at the center of the circle.
 To set the center to a specific value, add or subtract an offset to the
datum coordinate. For example, to have X = 1.5; press
