31
The MICRO-LINE system is considered to be in the DRO (digital read-
out) mode when the X-axis and Z-axis positions are displayed.
DRO Mode
MICRO-LINE uses positive and negative numbers to display the position
of the tool along each axis. The graphic below shows a typical setup for
the positive and negative count directions for the X-and Z-axes on a
lathe. All of the examples in this manual are based upon this setup.
X-axis:
The axis will move away from the
center for a positive count direction.
Z-axis:
The axis will move away from the
spindle for a positive count direction.
