CNC and other Extra tab functions

Additional CNC functions for programming, motion control, edge probe calibration and Extra tab format-

ting functions can also be made available in the Extra tab as described in Chapter 10: Setup, in the Display

screen section.

Extra tab functions
Space menu insert

The space insert are included in the Ex-

tra tab to separate control functions into

groups on the tab.

Divider line menu insert

The divider line insert are included in the Extra

tab to separate control functions into groups on

the tab without using a space insert.

Data prompt function

The data prompt function is included in the Extra tab to send a user-defined measurement such as

X position, Y position, radius or angle to the serial port, USB printer or USB drive as a file. When

the user touches the data prompt function, a prompt message is displayed and the user selects the desired

piece of measurement data to be transmitted.

Optical edge detector probe calibration (probe teach)

Teaching the edge detector calibrates it to correctly recognize dark to light transitions (edges) on

the comparator screen. A teach calibration should be performed after each startup, whenever the

part or magnification level changes or when the light conditions on the comparator change. Edge

calibration is described in detail in Chapter 5: Probes and Chapter 10: Setup.

Joystick motor speed

The Joystick motor speed function is included in the Extra tab of systems with the

CNC option to adjust the joystick control of motor speed. When the user touches

the Joystick motor speed function, the joystick control of motor speed is toggled

between fast and slow.

Axis lock

The Axis lock function is included in the Extra tab of systems with the

CNC option to restrict stage motion to only one axis. When axis lock is on,

motion is permitted only along one axis; diagonal motion is not permitted.

When the user touches the Axis lock function, axis lock is toggled on or off.
