active Jog is selected by pressing the appropriate soft key, then
pressing the appropriate ARROW key to move the table in the direction
required. The up and down arrows move the table in the Y axis. The
left and right arrows move the table in the X axis. Use the soft keys
Move Z Up or Move Z Down to move the Z axis in the desired
