Changing Axis Calibration Data

Use this procedure to change the axis calibration data shown in

Figure 40.2.

When the Axis Calibration screen is opened, data of the first axis of

the control is displayed. Data of other axes can be displayed by

pressing the

{NEXT AXIS}

softkey.

Either a new measurement point can be entered or an existing

measurement point can be replaced for the displayed axis:

Inserting Axis Calibration Points

To insert a measurement point:

Use the cursor keys to select the position where a measurement point

is to be inserted, then press the

{INSERT POINT}

softkey

(see Figure 40.2).

Important: The number of measurement points to be assigned to any one

axis may vary as long as the total number for all axes does not exceed

1001. If the operator tries to insert the 1002nd measurement point to the

table, the error message “MEASUREMENT POINT OVERFLOW” is

displayed in row 0 of the screen.

To replace stored travel data with new data, move the cursor keys to

the data to be changed, then key-in the new data and press the

{REPLACE VALUE}

softkey.

Deleting Axis Calibration Points

The following procedure can be used to delete a current measurement point

from the displayed table:

Use the cursor keys to highlight to the measurement point to be

deleted.

Press the

{DELETE POINT}

softkey. The control deletes the

highlighted point, then shifts all the points that were below the

deleted point up one line.

To store data, press the

{UPDATE & EXIT}

softkey.
