Wizard Homing and Travel dialog
In this screen, we will setup how the machine will:

Home

The directions in which it will Home

Software Travel Limits

Machine Parking.

HOME PROGRAM:

CNC12 Generates a .HOM file automatically. IF you have a custom .HOM file, then change Home file to:
"Custom User Defined". Otherwise leave it to the default of Wizard Generated. A ".hom" file is simply a G
code program that defines how the machine will "home out" based on the selections made in this menu.
HOMING TYPE:

Select "Simple Homing" if the machine uses no home switches. Simple Home means that the operator
will simply jog the machine to the desired home position and then press cycle start to set home at that
position.

Select "Home to Switch" if the machine is equipped with home switches.

Selecting "Automatic Homing" will display additional homing options for Automatic Homing.
Homing Direction:

If the machine axis must move in the positive direction to seek the home switch, then use +(M92).

If it must move in the negative direction to seek the home switch, then use –(M91).

Set Homing Direction for each axis.
