1.3 Modes of Operation
Manual Operation, Incremental Jog, and
Positioning with Manual Data Input
The Manual Operation mode is required for setting up the machine
tool. In this mode of operation, you can position the machine axes
manually or by increments, set the datums, and tilt the working plane.
The Incremental Jog mode of operation allows you to move the
machine axes manually with the HR electronic handwheel.
Simple traverse movements can be programmed in the Positioning
with Manual Data Input (MDI) mode of operation.
