3.2 RECURRING COMPONENTS
3.2.1 Position Display
This component appears on several screens and can display a variety of coordinate systems:
Machine, Workpiece, Measure, Distance To Go and Position Error. In some screens the coordi-
nate system to display may be selected using the drop down selector. On other screens the coordi-
nate system is fixed. Certain coordinates, such as Measure, are editable by clicking on an axis
value. Editable position displays are only editable on the Setup:4 Positions and Setup:Workshift
screens. Active editing is indicated by a yellow background as shown in Figure 3.2.1.1 on
page 19.
FIGURE 3.2.1.1. Editing an Axis in a Position Display
Editing is started by first selecting the field. At this point, position updating will stop. Pressing a
number or the space bar next will start editing the number. This is indicated by the yellow back-
ground. Editing may be cancelled by pressing the escape key or committed by pressing the return
key. The fields should only permit valid entries; otherwise they should revert to their previous val-
ues.
The Measure coordinates may be edited at any time. The Workpiece frame may only be edited in
manual modes (Rapid, Jog, Handle and Step) when the machine is not running.
