There are several methods for saving datums and/or basic rotations in 
the preset table:
Through probing cycles in the Manual Operation or Electronic 
Handwheel
modes (see User’s Manual, Touch Probe Cycles,
Chapter 2)
Through the probing cycles 400 to 402 and 410 to 419 in automatic 
mode (see User’s Manual, Touch Probe Cycles, Chapter 3)
Manual entry (see description below)
Basic rotations from the preset table rotate the coordinate 
system about the preset, which is shown in the same line 
as the basic rotation.
When setting a preset, the TNC checks whether the 
position of the tilting axes match the corresponding 
values of the 3D ROT menu (depending on the MP 
setting). Therefore:
If the “Tilt working plane” function is not active, the 
position displays for the rotary axes must = 0° (zero the 
rotary axes if necessary).
If the “Tilt working plane” function is active, the 
position displays for the rotary axes must match the 
angles entered in the 3D ROT menu.
The machine manufacturer can lock any lines in the preset 
table in order to place fixed datums there (e.g. a center 
point for a rotary table). Such lines in the preset table are 
shown in a different color (default: red).
The line 0 in the preset table is write protected. In line 0, 
the TNC always saves the datum that you most recently 
set manually via the axis keys or via soft key. If the datum 
set manually is active, the TNC displays the text PR MAN(0) 
in the status display.
If you automatically set the TNC display with the touch-
probe cycles for presetting, then the TNC does not store 
these values in line 0.
