ENABLE/DISABLE REF function

The Enable/Disable toggle soft key, that is present during the position
recovery routine, allows the operator to select a specific reference
mark on an encoder. This is important when using encoders with Fixed
Reference Marks (instead of ones with Position-Trac™ feature). When
the DISABLE REF soft key is pressed, the recovery routine is paused
and any reference marks that are crossed during encoder movement
are ignored. When the ENABLE REF soft key is then pressed, the
recovery routine once again becomes active and the next crossed
reference mark will be selected.
You do not have to cross over the reference marks of all the encoders,
only those that you need. Once reference marks for all desired axes
are established, press NO REF soft key to cancel out of routine. If all
reference marks have been found the 200S will return to the DRO
display screen automatically.

Job Setup Parameters

To view and change Job Setup parameters use the Up/Down arrow
keys to highlight the parameters of interest and press the Enter key.

Units

The Units form is used to specify the preferred display units and
format. You can also select the unit of measure by pressing the INCH/
MM soft key in either Actual Value or Distance-To-Go mode.

Scale Factor

The scale factor may be used to scale the part up or down. All encoder
movements are multiplied by the scale factor. A scale factor of 1.0
creates a part with the exact size as dimensioned on the print.
The numeric keys are used to enter a number. The number range is
0.1000 to 10.000. A negative value may also be entered. A scale
factor of -1.00 will produce a mirror image of the part. You can both
mirror and scale a part at the same time.
The scale factor settings will be retained on a power cycle.
When the scale factor is a value other than 1, the scaling symbol
is shown on the axis display.
The On/Off soft key is used to disable the current scale factors.

Edge Finder (milling applications only)

The diameter, length offset and units of the edge finder are set in this
form. Both values are in the units indicated in the form. Please see
"Probing Functions for Datum Setting" on page 9 for details on using
Edge Finder functions.
The numeric keys are used to enter values of diameter and length.
The diameter must be greater than zero. The length is a sign value
(negative or positive).
A soft key is provided to indicate the units of measure for the edge
finder.
The edge finder values will be retained on a power cycle.
