There are several methods for saving datums and/or basic rotations in 
the preset table:
Through probing cycles in the Manual Operation or El. Handwheel 
modes (see Chapter 14)
Through the probing cycles 400 to 402 and 410 to 419 in automatic 
mode (see User’s Manual, Cycles, Chapters 14 and 15)
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.
Remember to ensure that the position of the tilting axes 
matches the corresponding values of the 3-D ROT menu 
when setting the datum. Therefore: 
If the "Tilt working plane" function is not active, the 
position display for the rotary axes must be = 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 3-D ROT menu.
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.
