HEIDENHAIN TNC 410

The TNC saves the basic rotation in non-volatile memory. The basic
rotation is effective for all subsequent program runs and test runs.

Displaying a basic rotation
The angle of the basic rotation appears after ROTATION ANGLE
whenever PROBING ROT is selected. The TNC also displays the
rotation angle in the additional status display (screen layout:
PROGRAM + STATUS POSITION DISPLAY).

In the status display a symbol is shown for a basic rotation
whenever the TNC is moving the axes according to a basic rotation.

To cancel a basic rotation:

Select the touch probe function: Press the PROBING ROT soft key

Enter a rotation angle of zero and confirm with the ENT key.

To terminate the probe function, press the END key.
