DATUM
(entry optional):
Name of the datum table. The datum table must be stored in the 
same directory as the pallet table. Otherwise you must enter the full 
path name for the datum table. Datums from the datum table can be 
activated in the NC program with Cycle 7 DATUM SHIFT.
X, Y, Z
(entry optional, other axes also possible):
For pallets and fixtures, the programmed coordinates are referenced 
to the machine datum. For NC programs, the programmed 
coordinates are referenced to the pallet or fixture datum. These 
entries overwrite the datum that you last set in the Manual mode of 
operation. With the miscellaneous function M104 you can reactivate 
the datum that was last set. With the actual-position-capture key, 
the TNC opens a window that enables you to have the TNC enter 
various points as datums (see table below):
With the arrow keys and ENT, select the position that you wish to 
confirm. Then press the ALL VALUES soft key so that the TNC saves 
the respective coordinates of all active axes in the pallet table. With 
the PRESENT VALUE soft key, the TNC saves the coordinates of the 
axis on which the highlight in the pallet table is presently located.
Position
Meaning
Actual values
Enter the coordinates of the current tool position 
referenced to the active coordinate system.
Reference 
values
Enter the coordinates of the current tool position 
referenced to the machine datum.
ACTUAL
measured 
values
Enter the coordinates referenced to the active 
coordinate system of the datum last probed in 
the Manual operating mode.
REF
measured
values
Enter the coordinates referenced to the machine 
datum of the datum last probed in the Manual 
operating mode.
If you have not defined a pallet before an NC program, the 
programmed coordinates are then referenced to the 
machine datum. If you do not define an entry, the datum 
that was set manually remains active.
