It's recommended to test the datum setting before beginning a
program.
 To confirm the datum setting use the Pos key.
 To quickly move to the datum for X and Y, press the Pos key.
 With the Z axis at its retract position, enter 0.0000 for the go to
position for both the X and Y (leave the Z field blank). Press the GO
key.
 The table will move to the datum position X 0.0000, Y 0.0000.
 Lower the tool until it touches the part.
 Visually check the tool's position. The lower left corner of the part
should be positioned directly beneath the center point of the tool.
 The readout screen should be at 0.0000, confirming the datum is
accurate and programming can now begin.
 The value of 0.0000 in the Z axis display may vary slightly depending
on how the tool tip contacts the top surface of the part on the corner
edge.
