CNC Setup
CNC test functions for a single axis
Individual axes are adjusted and tested using the CNC Setup screen before vector moves are attempted with
multiple axes. Test functions include:
Test distance
An axis test consists of the CNC move on the current axis. The test distance
is entered into the test distance field in millimeters or inches before starting
the test.
Set home
Touch the Set home button to set the current position of the stage to home (zero). Test moves
are made from this home position to the specified test distance.
Test
Touch the Test button to initiate a test move. Repeatedly touching the Test button alternately
moves the stage from home to the
Test distance and from the Test
distance back to home. Observe the axis motion
and position on the CNC Setup screen.
CAUTION
Axes can move very quickly. To avoid damage to the equipment, when performing
a test, be prepared to touch the Stop button. If an axis begins to run away, touch the
Stop button immediately.
Stop
Touch the Stop button to halt axis motion.
CAUTION
The Stop button is not intended as a substitute for hard-contact emergency stop
switches. Touching the Stop button is a convenient way to halt axis motion, but do
not rely completely on this software interface - always be prepared to use the emer-
gency stop button to halt motion.
Observe the axis motion and position
