Move the cursor to the offset data to be modified. Use the up, down,
left, or right cursor keys to move the block cursor to the offset data on
the current page. Press the

{MORE OFFSET}

softkey to change pages.

The selected item will be shown in reversed video.

Important: To modify the active work coordinate system, the control
must be in ESTOP, or CYCLE-STOP and END OF BLOCK. If it is not,
the control, along with generating the error message “ACTIVE OFFSET
CAN NOT CHANGE”, will not update the work coordinate table.
