Offset Tables and Setup
Chapter 3
3-18
Important: Once the control begins executing a G10 program that has
been previously generated, it will clear any data that already exists in the
offset table being updated by that G10 command. This makes it
impossible for a G10 block to simply add a few offset values. A G10
program must load the entire offset table each time it is run. Note that tool
geometry and tool wear tables are separate offset tables. Loading data into
one does not clear the other.
To backup the offset tables follow the directions below:
1. Press the {OFFSET} softkey.

2. Press the {BACKUP OFFSET} softkey. This softkey backs up the
currently active tool length offset axis. If you’re using offsets on
more than one axis, each axis must be selected and backed up
separately. The backup offset screen shown in Figure 3.6 is displayed.
