Working with POSITIP First Steps

Before you start

You can cross over the reference marks after every switch-on.

The POSITIP's reference mark evaluation feature (REF) automati-

cally re-establishes the relationship between axis slide positions

and display values that you last defined by setting the datum.
When you have crossed over all the reference marks, the

REF

indicator appears in the input line at the top of the screen.

Setting new datum points automatically stores the new relation-

ship between axis positions and display values.

Working without reference mark evaluation

You can also use the POSITIP without crossing over the reference

marks simply press the soft key

No REF

Note that if you do not cross over the reference marks,

POSITIP does not store the datum points. This means

that it is not possible to re-establish the relationship

between axis slide positions and display values after a

power interruption (switch-off).
